AP Summer Work - Clarification!


Jay P. sent an email seeking clarification of the many papers I gave you before school closed. Here is my response to him. I thought I would share it here in case any of you are wondering...Happy Art Making!

You are being graded on 5 total projects. 3 must be drawings (although you may draw with pencil or crayon or ink. Understand drawing here to mean not an aqueous medium, not a collage, not a digital artwork.) The other 2 can be any medium of your choice. That might mean more drawing, but it could mean any of the above-mentioned media that are "not drawing".

You should, in addition to these more completed projects, also be doodling, scribbling, thinking in your sketchbook. Though I did not it in print, your summer sketchbook will be graded along with your first sketchbook prompt in September. (I guess I thought we were all at the point where we know how valuable sketchbook is, so I didn't think I needed to be all teacher-y about how it is graded?)

The blue worksheet is not mandatory, it is simply a list of ideas in case you're out of them. There is no "large vs. small sketchbook". Work in whatever size sketchbook you have. The 5 assignments should be as close to the sizes I specified on the Summer Assignments sheet as possible.
