Program Overview

Program Overview

The Ed. 612 - ART AND DESIGN course is designed to provide both new and experienced AP Art and Design teachers with an understanding of the requirements of the updated course and portfolios. This course aims to assist high school teachers of AP Art and Design in understanding, planning, and teaching the course while assessing student progress.


Course Objectives

The goal of the course is to prepare students to develop their portfolios successfully. By the end of the session, teachers will be more effective in evaluating their students' work and assisting them in achieving higher AP scores. An emphasis will be placed on ideation and strategies for assisting students in selecting Sustained Investigation topics that are viable and inventive.


Course Format

The format of the Institute will include informal lectures, digital presentations, and studio activities. All participants will be encouraged to share best practices, and some exercises will be completed in small groups. Group critiques and activities will emphasize the process and develop a theme or idea that can generate continued investigation.


Course Activities

Participants can expect to:


  • Engage in inquiry and investigation through practice, experimentation, revision, and reflection
    • Investigate themes from Contemporary Art to inspire curriculum
    • Collaborate with studio and seminar sessions structured to address the use of contemporary art practices
  • Develop ideation for the Sustained Investigation that can support investigative research about an artistic concern
  • Create art to support the research-based inquiry into a mini-investigation
  • Develop sketchbook and process strategies
  • Select art for the Selected Works section
  • Share strategies for portfolio development with hands-on approaches to work
  • Review the UPDATED rubrics and use them to score portfolios through mock readings
  • Participate in museum or gallery exercises (subject to availability and only for the in-person version of this course)

Participant Requirements

Participants are encouraged to bring their laptops, flash drives, sketchbooks, and favorite media to support art-making in the 2D, 3D, or Drawing portfolio. If possible, bring utensils to cut, adhesives of choice, and collage-making materials.
