What is a Sustained Investigation (SI)?
A deep dive into a topic, showing process, experimentation, and growth.
What are Selected Works (SW)?
The 5 best finished pieces in your AP Art portfolio.
Define 'documentation' in the context of an AP Art portfolio.
Showing your ideas, process, revisions, and materials throughout your artistic journey.
What is the focus of a 2D AP Art portfolio?
Primarily 'flat' works with height and width, like paintings and drawings.
What is the focus of a 3D AP Art portfolio?
Works that have depth and interact with the space around them, like sculptures and installations.
Why is documenting the artistic process important for the Sustained Investigation?
It demonstrates exploration, experimentation, and growth, showcasing the artistic journey.
Why is lighting key when photographing 3D artwork for submission?
Lighting affects how the work looks, how it interacts with space, and how shadows play a role.
Why should students experiment with non-traditional materials?
To find what best suits their artistic vision and allows for unique expression.
Why is it important to start the submission process early?
The website can be glitchy, especially during peak times, and it prevents last-minute stress.
Why should the Sustained Investigation show a clear line of inquiry?
To demonstrate how the student explored their ideas and developed their artistic skills.
What is the key difference between Sustained Investigation and Selected Works?
SI shows the artistic process and exploration, while SW showcases the best finished pieces.
Compare the material considerations for 2D and 3D portfolios.
2D portfolios often use flat materials, while 3D portfolios consider materials that create depth and interact with space.
Compare the focus of documentation in SI versus SW.
SI documentation focuses on the process, while SW documentation focuses on the final product and its strengths.
Compare the image requirements for SI and SW submissions.
Both require good quality images, but SW images should focus on showcasing the finished piece's best qualities.
Compare the importance of technical skills in SI versus SW.
Technical skills are important in both, but SW should demonstrate mastery of those skills in finished pieces.
