AP PHOTOGRAPHY

 

The Two-Dimensional Design, Advanced Placement, Photography Emphasis course is designed to be a capstone course that builds upon the work and experiences in Photography I and II. The course will focus on building student portfolios that exhibit a coherence of vision and excellence in craft. Students will work to develop an in-depth and consistent investigation into a particular subject matter or genre with an outcome that shows artistic maturity as well as visual continuity. AP 2-D Design: Photography Emphasis is not based on a written exam; instead, the students will submit portfolios for evaluation at the end of the trimester. Students who score a 3 or better on the AP Portfolio Exam may earn college credit. In order for students to be successful in this course it is strongly recommended that they not only have a complete understanding of the concepts covered in Photography I and II but also have AP quality works they have produced in these courses they can use in their final portfolio.
