Drawing Course Student Examples HERE.
Drawing Portfolios address a wide variety of drawing issues and media. Line quality, rendering of form, light and shade,composition (elements/principles), surface manipulation, illusion of depth and mark making are all drawing issues to focus on. Collage, digital artwork and even photography may be used, but you must also use some mark-making on the surface or the art must address the drawing issues mentioned above somehow.
Scoring Guidelines for BOTH portfolios can be found here. This is the rubric by which you are graded.
PORTFOLIOS
Each Portfolio (Drawing or 2D Design) consists of 2 parts.
1. Quality ( 5 artworks that represent your best work from the semester. They are physically mailed in a box to AP for grading)
2. Sustained Investigation ( A SERIES of 15 artworks based on a consistent theme, selected by the student. They are uploaded and digitally submitted to AP)
While the 5 artworks for the Quality portfolio may be taken from either the Breadth or the Concentration sections, NO repeat artworks may be submitted in Breadth AND Concentration. So, you will have a minimum of 15 artworks to submit
