AP 2-D Art and Design is for highly motivated students who are seriously interested in the study of art. The program demands significant commitment in and outside of class. Students should consider how materials, processes, and ideas can be used to make work that exists on a flat (two-dimensional) surface.Students can work with any 2-D materials, processes, and ideas. Graphic design, digital imaging, photography, collage, fabric design, weaving, fashion design, fashion illustration, painting, and printmaking are among the possibilities for this class. 

 

AP 2-D Art and Design presents an inquiry-based approach to learning about and making art and design. Students are expected to conduct an in-depth, sustained investigation of materials, processes, and ideas. Instruction focuses on concepts and skills emphasized within college art and design foundations courses with the same intent: to help students become inquisitive, thoughtful artists and designers able to articulate information about their work. AP Art and Design students develop and apply skills of inquiry and investigation, practice, experimentation, revision, communication, and reflection.

 

Instead of a written exam, students may submit completed portfolios for review, at a cost determined by the College Board.  Students eligible for free and reduced lunch, or who have fee waivers for the current school year, are eligible to have the cost of the submission waived.  Summer assignments will be required. 

 

This course may be repeated for credit.
