ADVANCED ART
(Full year, 1 credit, Grade 12)
Advanced Art is intended for the motivated
advanced art student who desires an individual
approach to his/her studies as well as direction in
compiling a senior portfolio (a successful body of
work). First semester includes work in a variety of
media with projects that emphasize problem solving
from a personal standpoint. During this semester,
students compile or complete a portfolio, if needed,
for admission to an art college or university. During
second semester, students who have successfully
completed the Advanced Art coursework may work
independently. Since most of the work is
independently designed, students need to be self-
directed learners. (Approximately $10 - $30 in
additional supplies may be needed depending on
student projects).

The Advanced Placement Program in Studio Art:
Drawing is a performance-based visual exam
designed for self-motivated students who excel in
risk-taking and independent thought. Successful
completion of Art III is a prerequisite. Each student
will develop and submit a portfolio that serves as a
direct demonstration of achievement. The term
"drawing" is used very broadly; all sorts of art that
involves directly making marks on a surface can fit
into this portfolio. This includes not only work in
traditional drawing media -- such as pencils, ink, and
pastels -- but also many kinds of painting,
printmaking, and other forms of expression.
Students in AP Studio Art should expect to devote at
least ten hours of work outside of class per week to

stay on track. Additionally, students may decide to
purchase specific materials, such as canvas or
illustration board, to best develop their work.
Students can expect to spend $30.00 to $100.00 on
supplies, depending on the concentration they
choose.
The portfolio for Studio Art: Drawing requires
submissions in three distinct sections and is
submitted in May.
