AP Studio Art:2D
Syllabus
I. Course Description
AP Studio Art:2D is designed for serious art students who are interested in developing mastery in
the areas of concepts, organization, technical skill, and implementation of the Elements of Art and
Principles of Design. Students compile a portfolio of two-dimensional works that demonstrate
such mastery utilizing various media. In addition, portfolio works should also demonstrate
versatility of techniques, conceptual understanding and problem solving skills.
II. Course Content
A. Concentration
Works submitted for the area of concentration should be thematic in content. Each work in
this section should be a visual representation of the thematic concept developed by the
student. Visual elements should demonstrate in-depth investigation, growth and discovery
of unique ways in which the theme is represented.
B. Quality
These works are selected for their excellence in craftsmanship, concept and overall
superiority. The works chosen for this portion of the portfolio should exhibit the student’s
best work to date.
C. Breadth
This group of artworks will demonstrate understanding of various
techniques, media, subjects and concepts. The intent is to exhibit mastery of a broad range
of artistic endeavors and experimentation.
D. Sketchbook
A visual journal is to be maintained throughout the year. While sketchbooks will be used
during class to work out ideas or plan projects, the bulk of sketchbook assignments are to
be completed outside of class. It is expected that students will fill at least one sketchbook
with during the year. This may include, but is not limited to:
1. independent drawing
2. media experimentation
3. specific works that focus on individual elements of art and principles of
design
4. thumbnail sketches
5. various subject matter, i.e., landscape, portrait, still life
6. experimentation with abstraction
7. written notes and comments
8. lists and ideas for future projects
9. specific assignment relating to various careers in the visual arts, i.e.
logo design, advertising, illustration, graphic arts, portraiture, web design
10. ideas for portfolio projects
11. self-analysis and critique of artworks
E. Presentation
Students are expected to demonstrate an understanding of matting, framing and exhibition
preparation. In addition, students must be able to prepare slides of selected works for
submission to the AP Board.
F. Research
Students will conduct research in art history via the study of art periods and artists. After
extensive research, students will develop several ideas for projects that reflect a specific
period in art history or the techniques of particular artists. At least one of these ideas is to
be developed fully as a completed work of art.
Students are also required to research images via direct observation, thus avoiding
plagiarism while ensuring the necessary understanding of the object and its surroundings
prior to undertaking the work.

2. cutsie, precious, trite images; as a college-level class, students are expected to
challenge themselves creatively.
3. a lot of artwork representing things the student already draws well; while students may
include some such drawings in their sketchbooks, it is expected that AP Art students
will challenge themselves to draw things that they haven’t already mastered.
XIII. Exhibitions/Competitions

Appendix 4
Student Self-Critique
Name _______________________
Assignment: __________________
It is critical to your growth as an artist to be able to assess the design quality, craftsmanship and creativity of
your works. For each work completed, use the following rubric to critique the work. Circle the box that best
evaluates your work for each characteristic below:
Characteristic
Design Quality
Mastery
Incorporates
design concepts
in unique and
individual
manner
Craftsmanship
Displays
extraordinary
proficiency in

terms of
technical skill
Displays an

concept,

material
Displays little
technical skill
development
Displays basic
ideas; is
clichéd; relies

creativity of
others
Design Quality refers to the Elements of Art (Line, Color, Texture, Form, Shape, Space, Value) and the
Principles of Design (Balance, Unity, Rhythm, Movement, Harmony, Proportion) as they are utilized in the
composition. The artist’s thought, concepts and plan should be readily conveyed via the appropriate use of
these elements and principles. The understanding of these concepts deals specifically with demonstrating what
is “in the box.”
Craftsmanship refers to the technical skill, time and effort used in creating the artwork. Each work should
reflect care and concern for presentation as a completed piece. There should be distinct evidence of an
appreciation for doing one’s best on each project. This section deals, for the most part, with demonstrating
what is “in the box.”
Creativity refers to the utilization of unique concepts, techniques and materials that demonstrate the ability to
think “outside of the box.” Once design elements are understood and craftsmanship has been honed, it is up to
the artist to use these tools in a way that exhibits original thoughts and processes.
