Prerequisites: Studio Art and Design 1 and 2 or permission of the instructor This course is designed for highly motivated, advanced art students who have demonstrated a serious interest in the study of art. Ideally suited for students who work well independently, the course will focus on the preparation of a two-dimensional design portfolio of artworks that exhibit quality, sustained investigation, and breadth of experience in the formal, technical, and expressive means of an artist. The two-dimensional portfolio may include, but is not limited to, forms of artwork in graphic design, typography, digital imaging, photography, collage, fabric design, weaving, illustration, painting, and printmaking. Students will submit two-dimensional portfolios based on objectives that reflect the format and requirements established by the College Board for Advanced Placement 2D Art and Design. Students who complete this course are encouraged to submit the associated Advanced Placement portfolio and may earn college credit if a qualifying score is achieved. This course requires a student materials fee as listed in FCPS Notice 5922.
