AP Studio Art Legacy Project

AP Studio Art Legacy Project

The students in the AP Studio class were presented with a project challenge based on the following:

1.      Students will create a legacy piece based on choices made by the class as well as their own individual strengths and contributions to visual arts.

2.      Students will participate in planning and development of group or individual project.

This year, students chose a famous artwork that reflected something about their personality. For example, Erin chose Starry Night; Jeremy chose The Scream. Students painted the Master work on their faces with help of their peers. Several students photographed the painted faces including Jed, Kelly, Morgan, and Carrie. Carrie created the finished project based on discussions of ideas in class after our Seniors left. Everyone participated in some aspect to create the finished artwork.

The printed version will be hanging in the Art Wing in the Fall!

Photo 1- Reflective Self-Portraits

Student teacher Mrs. Priya Rama, challenged the Photo 1 students in Ms. Holliday's classes to shoot Self-portraits using reflection. They were asked to consider the visual aspect of reflection as well as the internal aspects of how we reflect on ourselves. This was the first digital photography assignment for Photo 1 as they have been working with 35mm film and darkroom photography to this point. Ms. Holliday will also use this assignment as a pre-assessment to determine students' prior knowledge and abilities in digital photography. Here is the link for the album showing their work: https://picasaweb.google.com/116055350805865877454/BESTOFReflectiveSelfPortraitsPhoto1?authuser=0&feat=directlink

Anna and Charles Taft could never have imagined...

our Viking Artists using iPad technology for presentations on the artworks in their collection.

On Dec. 1, students in the AP Studio Art class at Princeton High School visited Kate Kern's artist studio at Brazee Street Studios before revisiting the Taft Museum of Art (http://www.taftmuseum.org/) to present information they researched about an artwork of their choice from the collection.

Here are some photos from our field trip:

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.

*Princeton City School District does not own or maintain these sites and content is controlled by individual owner.

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!
