Assignments during the CUSD closure:

Asynchronous assignments: 

Art 1: New Projects!

1. Fill a page with observational sketches of people! Create quick sketches of people you are quarantined with or individuals you see on walks. You can use your phone to also capture images you feel would be fun to sketch. Keep you shading to a minimum. Concentrate on the form of your subject. See the example below. 

2. Abstract sketching grid! This is a Zen and Zone out project. Create a grid of 5 squares across and 7 squares down on a sheet of paper. Leave a small space between each square. Start drawing abstract patterns in each square using geometric and organic patterns to fill your page. There is no right or wrong way to do this project. Enjoy the process of creating an abstract pattern page that is easy to approach because the patterns are contained in small squares in a larger grid. See example:

AP Studio Art:

Selected Works (SW) 40%: Students are required to submit 3 works for Selected Works, reduced from 5. The 3 submissions should be finished works of art that demonstrate the synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas. The works may come from the Sustained Investigation or they may be works made outside of the Sustained Investigation. Selected Works will be submitted and scored digitally, following the same process students will use for Sustained Investigation. Students will not mail or otherwise submit any physical artworks in 2020.

Sustained Investigation (SI) 60%: Students are required to submit 10 images for Sustained Investigation, reduced from 15.The Sustained Investigation is intended to provide students an opportunity to demonstrate their thinking-and-making process when creating works of art and design. The 10 submissions can be a combination of images of process documentation and more finished works of art.

You must include all the written evidence that accompanies each piece and an Artist Statement.

Test date and time: There will be no end-of-year exam in AP Art and Design. The deadline for submission of artworks in the Digital Portfolio is extended to May 26, 11:59 p.m. ET. 

If you choose not to upload to the College Board for portfolio submission, you must submit a Google Slide Presentation that mimics the portfolio format. 10 Sustained Investigation slides and 3 Selected Works that include an artist statement about your process in the creation of your work for the Sustained Investigation. This will be due the week of May 25-29.

This is the current status on the portfolio submission. It may change in the future. We will keep you posted!

Art 2/3: Work on and finish your five to seven piece collection of work that is connected by a common idea or theme. Your work must be visually related and compelling. Submit your collection in a Google Slideshow with titles, mediums used, and sizes of each piece. Provide a brief artist statement describing your conceptual idea behind your pieces and how you worked through the process of creating it. These must be completed no later than Friday, May 15th!
