Concentration Critique Schedule for Second Marking Period
AP Studio Art:
Marking Period 2 Critique Schedule
The second marking period will mark our move to a strong emphasis on your individual Concentrations. In order to ensure the highest quality work being completed, we will be following a schedule of critiques that should help you in reaching your AP portfolio goal. We will also continue to work on the Breadth section of our portfolio with a series of in-class assignments revolving around a variety of issues in the visual arts.
Your Concentration work is expected to be completed at home and will comprise the majority of your out-of-class studio time. You should commit a minimum of 4 – 5 hours per week on your Concentration artworks. There are no shortcuts to building the AP portfolio.
Concentration Critiques:
• Friday, November 16 - Concentration Proposals
• Friday, December 7th – One finished artwork
• Thursday, December 20th – Artwork #2
• Monday, Jan 7th – Artwork #3
• Friday, Jan. 18th – Artwork #4

AP Studio Homework
Sketchbook Assignment #3
Tell the story of an object's life.
In this sketchbook assignment, you will be using your sketchbook to make a series of studies of one specific object. You will choose the object, and in addition the setting, tone, mood, and point-of-view will all be determined by you as the artist.
The goal of this assignment is to have you create a narrative of the many facets of the object’s life based on your own imaginative and creative powers.
A total of 12 different scenarios must be completed by Monday, November 26.
For example: a mug in brown wrapping tied with string; Steaming on a cosy table with a beloved's teacup alongside; sitting alone on a draining board; sitting on a desk full of pencils, with a torn photograph; broken in pieces in the wastebasket. You might tell the story of a beloved teddy, a bunch of flowers, a bottle of wine, or a dollar bill. Need a challenge? Look for the most mundane object you can think of! Contemporary objects - such as a mobile phone - can be difficult, because we have no artistic tradition to refer to when representing them.
First Sketchbook Check: Monday, November 19(4 scenarios minimum)
