This course is designed for the highly motivated and responsible student interested in the serious study of art. Students will use elements of art and principles of design to create and support their ideas and demonstrate understanding of design principles as applied to a 2-D surface whether physical or virtual. It will provide an intensive examination of the process and content of visual expression through two-dimensional works. Emphasis is placed on the quality, concentration, and breadth of the student's production and experiences. The goal of this course is the completion of a portfolio of artwork produced by the student in any two-dimensional process or medium, including, but not limited to: graphic design, digital imaging, photography, collage, fabric design, weaving, fashion design, illustration, painting, printmaking, and still images from videos or films, etc. The portfolio, of which the majority has been produced this year, will be completed for evaluation in alignment with College Board guidelines. This advanced placement course requires the student to work outside of the classroom and scheduled class time.
