AP Drawing is for highly motivated students who are seriously interested in the study of art. The program demands significant commitment in and outside of class. This class is designated for work that focuses on the use of mark-making, line, surface, space, light and shade, and composition. Students can work with a range of drawing materials, processes, and ideas. Drawing (analog and digital), painting, printmaking, and mixed media work are among the possibilities for this class. 

 

AP Drawing 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 Drawing 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.
