Course Description: APSI – Sunday section, Art and Design
While covering the required workshop topics, this institute for AP Studio Art and Design teachers will explore all three portfolio types: 2D Art and Design, 3D Art and Design, and the Drawing Portfolio. The following outline for the four days is based on the rubrics for scoring and will model the sequence used at the Reading.
Emphasis will be placed on developing practical classroom delivery strategies for both the Sustained Investigation (SI) section and the Selected Works section (SW). During our time together we will review a range of student samples for each portfolio type, experience scoring student work, as well as include several studio sessions. There will be participant choice of portfolio type to best fulfill the needs of individual teaching assignments, experience, and personal expertise/interests. The intent of the studio sessions is to model the formation of an inquiry-based investigation while exchanging best practice and classroom management strategies.
Sketchbook and process documentation ideas, together with approaches for the different kinds of required writing will be key to our work. It is anticipated that since each participant will choose specific and different ideation for the sketchbook/ Sustained Investigation initiation, a presentation of samples ready to use with your students will be created and shared.
Besides the College Board Materials, a handout will be provided, and a range of student samples/scores will be available for copy. A letter with more specific details will follow closer to our date.
