AP
Studio
Art:
2-D
Design
This
portfolio
is
intended
to
address
two-dimensional
(2-D)
design
issues
.
Design
involves
purposeful
decision
making
about
how
to
use
the
elements
and
principles
of
art
in
an
integrative
way
.
For this portfolio, students are asked to demonstrate mastery of 2-D design through any two-dimensional medium or process, including, but not limited to, graphic design, digital imaging, photography, collage, fabric design, weaving, fashion design, fashion illustration, painting and printmaking . Video clips, DVDs, CDs and three-dimensional works may not be submitted . However, still images from videos or films are accepted.
AP
Studio
Art:
Drawing
The
Drawing
Portfolio
is
intended
to
address
a
very
broad
interpretation
of
drawing
issues
and
media.
Line
quality,
light
and
shade,
rendering
of
form,
composition,
surface
manipulation,
the
illusion
of
depth
and
mark-making
are
drawing
issues
that
can
be
addressed
through
a
variety
of
means,
which
could
include
painting,
printmaking,
mixed
media,
etc
.
Abstract
and
observational
works
may
demonstrate
drawing
competence
.
The
range
of
marks
used
to
make
drawings,
the
arrangement
of
those
marks,
and
the
materials
used
to
make
the
marks
are
endless
.
There
is
no
preferred
(or
unacceptable)
style
or
content.
Any
work
submitted
in
the
Drawing
Portfolio
that
incorporates
digital
or
photographic
processes
must
address
issues
such
as
those
listed
above.
AP
Music
Theory
(possibly
coming
to
BHS
in
the
fall
of
2018)
The
ultimate
goal
of
an
AP
Music
Theory
course
is
to
develop
a
student's
ability
to
recognize,
understand,
and
describe
the
basic
materials
and
processes
of
music
that
are
heard
or
presented
in
a
score.
The
achievement
of
these
goals
may
best
be
approached
by
initially
addressing
fundamental
aural,
analytical,
and
compositional
skills
using
both
listening
and
written
exercises.
Building
on
this
foundation,
the
course
should
progress
to
include
more
creative
tasks,
such
as
the
harmonization
of
a
melody
by
selecting
appropriate
chords,
composing
a
musical
bass
line
to
provide
two-voice
counterpoint,
or
the
realization
of
figured-bass
notation.
