The AP 2-D Design and Drawing Portfolio courses continually address a broad interpretation of design issues, techniques and media that will involve the students in a sustained, informed and critical decision-making process while they create art. For this portfolio, students are asked to demonstrate continued investigation and mastery of two portfolio sections - selected works and sustained investigation. For 2-D Design, students may accomplish this through any two-dimensional medium or process, including but not limited to, 2-D elements and principles of art (point, line, shape, plane, layer, form, space, texture, color, value, opacity, transparency, time, unity, variety, rhythm, movement, proportion, scale, balance, emphasis, contrast, repetition, figure/ground relationship, connection, juxtaposition and hierarchy. For Drawing, the portfolio focus is the use of mark-making, line, surface, space, lightened shade, and composition. Students may work with any materials, processes and ideas. Some possibilities for submission include drawing (analog and digital), painting, printmaking and mixed media.
