Graphic Organizer for AP Portfolio

Five physical works or high-quality printed reproductions of physical works that each demonstrate
synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas using 2-D art and design skills.
1. You are to make 5 artworks of high-quality while showing your best skills in art.
2. Along with each work, students are required to submit written responses to prompts about the
work. Responses are evaluated along with the images that students submit. The most successful
responses in terms of assessment are those that are clearly related to the images of work
submitted, that directly and completely address the prompts, and that provide further evidence of
skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas shown in the work. Responses are not
evaluated for correct spelling, grammar, or punctuation.
15 digital images of works of art and process documentation that demonstrate sustained
investigation through practice, experimentation, and revision.
1. You are to make 15 artworks that show variety of skills while practicing, developing, and
assessing from the beginning of the course until its conclusion.
Brainstorming section:
AP Art and Design courses should address the following learning outcomes: the ability to (1) conduct a
sustained investigation through practice, experimentation, and revision, guided by questions; (2) skillfully
synthesize materials, processes, and ideas; and (3) articulate, in writing, information about one’s work.
Peer Critique/Feedback: Divide into groups of 3 or 4. Discuss/analyze/share your packets amongst
yourself. You will have two days to do this. This is a VERY important step towards your portfolio. Miss.
K will walk around and discuss your artworks individually with each student.
“By observing, discussing, and analyzing works of art and design, students learn to evaluate their own
and others’ work based on relationships of materials, processes, and ideas”
From Ap Coursebook: Students are expected to conduct an in-depth, sustained investigation of
materials, processes, and ideas. Students should become inquisitive, thoughtful artists and designers who
are able to articulate information about their work. AP Art and Design students should develop and apply
skills of inquiry and investigation, practice, experimentation, revision, communication, and reflection.
Plagiarism- When creating pieces for your portfolios, all work must be your own. Stay away from copy
written material from brands, other designers, and other photographers. You can adapt sections of other
works by using them as reference, but if you do this, you must change it to make it your own. As an artist,
it is always best to take your own reference photos. If an art
