New syllabus based on the new portfolio requirements will be added soon!
AP2D and AP3D Summer 2019 assignment You will be building/constructing your idea of a 10-page completed sketchbook (if you are in AP3D, your design should take the overall form into consideration).All AP students should be prepared to think beyond drawing in a standard sketchbook. Due date: 1st day of class, August 12, 2019.No exceptions.This will be a graded assignment. Some questions to consider. Does your sketchbook reflect who you are and what you are thinking about? Does your sketchbook include experimentation? Does your sketchbook reflect a cohesive body of experimental work?
1.You will need to research different types of sketchbook and sketchbook construction.A few considerations for this assignment are; -paper type (if you are using paper) -joinery/connections for binding the “books” -typical drawing mediums (pencil, pen, markers, etc.) -atypical drawing or sculpting media (string, yarn, wire, etc).
2.You should plan out your sketchbook with drawings or by creating a mini maquette. 3.Why?You should also know why you are making a sketchbook. Is there a question you are answering or a topic you are exploring? 4.You will need to write a double space, one page, 12-pt font paper explaining your choices, decision, experimentation and/or process for this assignment.
The requirements for the 2020 AP portfolio have changed.Process and critical reflection are now significant contributors for portfolio scoring.The 2019-2020 school year will be full of both.
Have a super summer and make some incredible work!
