Course Description: AP STUDIO ART
This Summer Institute will cover all three Studio Art Portfolios, with overviews of the Breadth and Concentration sections. You will receive an insider’s appreciation of the portfolio evaluation process, which will equip you for mock-readings of the various portfolios. This should prove invaluable for both the seasoned professional, and those just beginning an AP Program. We will discuss changes to the rubrics, and the impact of the digital revolution upon our endeavors. There will be hands-on activities, including the production of a mini-concentration.
