AP Studio Students are Blogging!

The AP Studio Art students are blogging about their Concentration Sections of their AP 2-D Design Portfolio. The Concentration Section allows students to work in the same way that many professional artists work, by creating a body of work based on a single idea. The inspirations, resources and references, creations, reflections, and developments of these ideas will be documented on individual blogs maintained by students in order to gather evidence of their own growth and development. You can visit student blogs using the links below.

Silhouettes based on Kara Walker

In Sculpture/Mixed Media class, students studied the work of artist Kara Walker and created their own silhouettes based on the concept of "FEAR". Each student came up with a list of the fears that they have, and creatively problem solved to figure out to depict this fear using just two materials - black paper and exacto knives. Some of their fears can be recognized and are literal, whereas others were illustrated more abstractly. Here's a sample of some of their finished products!

Ceramics I - Flower Sculptures


In Ceramics I we have been busy! This is just a small sample of the many beautiful flowers the Ceramics I students created. They did an amazing job using colors and creating realistic depth in their flowers. It was a great project to wrap up the first quarter.
