2020 AP Studio Art Students
The outbreak of COVID-19, and the subsequent closing of schools, has inhibited my AP Studio Art Class from having their year end Art Exhibition. Each student created art based on big ideas and essential questions. After working on a few teacher directed concept investigations to learn how to develope their own visual interpretations of information and experiment with media, students set out to develop their own topic for an extended investigation. Each student selected a topic that was personal to them and developed a series of questions to be answered, guided by one larger essential question. Students conducted research to gain a better understanding of their topic and why it was so important to them. Originally, students were to submit 15 images of art from their Sustained Investigation and choose 5 of those works to represent their top 5 highest quality images to be assessed. Once COVID-19 forced the closure of schools in March the AP Portfolio Submission requirements changed to 10 and 3. Most of the year end AP art Exhibitions we have had in the past featured work students had created on their own time, as class work and works from their AP Portfolio submissions. These students worked so hard this year with the new AP standards that to not exhibit their work would be be just a disservice to celebrating their skills and hard work. I have complied some of their work here to share their incredible work with the public at large. Click on an image below to see more art created by that student.
