PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS
For Advanced Placement Studio Art you must produce Art. This Art ends up as a portfolio that is sent to the college Exam committees. They evaluate your portfolio to qualify you for college credit.
You have two choices for your portfolio production. A "General Portfolio" is one of your choices. A "Drawing Portfolio" is your other choice.
The requirements for these portfolios are as follows:
GENERAL SECTION I REAL ART (not slides) 4 PIECES OF ART that are no larger than 18X24 and no smaller than 8X8. No 3-D works. (only flat art) SECTION II CONCENTRATION AREA - IN DEPTH STUDY No more than 20 slides SECTION III BREADTH Total of 20 slides. 8 of these must be in the area of Color and Design. 4 of these must be in the area of Sculpture. 8 of these must be in the area of Drawing. |
DRAWING SECTION I REAL ART (not slides) 6 PIECES OF ART that are no larger than 18X24 and no smaller than 8X8. SECTION II CONCENTRATION AREA - IN DEPTH STUDY No more than 20 slides (note: this appears the same as the General Portfolio. However, this concentration can only be drawing.) SECTION III BREADTH A minimum of 14 slides. These must be in the area of Drawing. |
The General Portfolio requires about 44 pieces of art and the Drawing portfolio requires about 40 pieces of Art.
This is about 3 pieces every 2 weeks or 12 pieces by the end of October.
I will grade my students on quantity (do 12 pieces exist by the end of the first grading period? If yes, the grade will be an "A".)
I advise each student to start with drawing since all portfolios need drawing.
