Most CVHS art classes go all the way to level 4 and students who focus on on design or on drawing and painting can submit an AP Studio Art portfolios for 3D design, 2D design or Drawing and Painting.
In level one students will learn the basics of medium and technique.
Level two students will hone their technical skills while focusing on design ideas and experimentation
Level three students begin to find their personal style with a focus on the design elements and how to use them to create truly unique and expressive works
Level four students will begin their work on a portfolio which may lead to the development of an AP Studio Art portfolio in the future.
AP 3D and 2D design studio is an exploration on design topics in 2 or 3dimensions. It is not a media specific portfolios, per se, but often they do focus on one medium if the student prefers.
Ceramics, sculpture and Jewelry students submit a 3D Design portfolio
Photography and Graphic Design Students submit a 2D Design portfolio
Drawing and Painting students may submit either a 2D Design portfolio or a Drawing and Painting portfolio. They may enter both, just not in the same year.
Additionally we offer Art Experience which is an exploration of media and techniques both 2D and 3D. And Art History 1 and 2.
