AP Art - semester 1 final
For your final this semester, you will be asked to do 3 things:
1. Finalize your vision for your concentration and adjust Concentration #1 and 2 as needed.
2. Complete a 3rd piece in your concentration (see Concentration webpage)
2. Create an artist statement that explains your concept of your concentration AND connects your concentration to what you have learned this semester.
Concentration artwork
For the artwork, refer to what we discuss in class (also on the course website). It will be graded on our standard AP rubric.
Artist Statement
In your artist statement I would like you to address all of the following prompts:
· What is the central idea of your concentration?
· How do these pieces of work in your concentration demonstrate the exploration of your idea? How will you continue this exploration in your future works?
· How do these pieces of your concentration reflect what you have learned this semester? Consider aesthetic, technical, conceptual and process based learnings.
This artist statement could be created in a variety of ways. This may be through an artwork, written, spoken, presentation, video, etc. But it should be a creative representation of your learning (especially since some of our main foci in this class, and this semester, is the creative process, being creative and thinking about traditional (or cliché) ideas through new perspectives.)
Expectations of statement
· Your response should be thoughtful and detailed
· Your response should provide multiple examples and relate to specific works to prove your point.
· Final product should be understandable without explanation
· Reflection is creative examination of prompts
· Your response should discusses and/or demonstrate significant learning from the semester. Consider aesthetic, technical, conceptual and process based learnings. Consider class objectives and other things you learned along the way.
· Reflective on your work and process
· Quality and craftsmanship of final presentation/work
· Remember, this, along with the artwork, is 20% of your grade, and therefore should be in depth and properly represent the amount of work you did this semester.
Format options for statement
How can you vary your format to make it more interesting and reflective of your artwork and learning?
Consider addressing multiple media in your work. For example, if you want to do an artwork, and your artwork can’t say it all, could you include sound, or text in the artwork? Or you could use video to show content and creative imagery. See below for more ideas.
Please make sure your response to the prompts are very clear in your format choice. If that means that you add an additional element (type in an artwork, written statement, etc) to expand your approach of the prompt, please do! I can only grade you on what you submit to me or what I can glean from your work, so make it clear!
Artwork
· How can an artwork explore the prompts above?
· What images can represent your ideas, experience?
· What skills can you demonstrate?
· How can you include type?
Written
· How can you vary your written format to make it more interesting and reflective of your artwork and/or learning?
· Does it have to be paragraph format? Consider poetry, rubrics, typography (type used as a visual element), etc.
· Is it meant to be read silently or performed?
· How does the rhythm of the words reflect your ideas and work?
Spoken
· Is it performed or recorded?
· Is it others’ voices, yours or both?
· How does the rhythm of the words reflect your ideas and work?
Presentation
· What presentation format can you consider (think beyond traditional PowerPoint). Prezi, Glogster, Pecha Kucha, etc…
· Is it presented live or something we explore individually later (like a website or social media aspect)
· Do people interact with it/your work in advance, part of or after of your final presentation?
Video
· What could we see? Is it you, your work, found or abstract imagery that reflects your ideas/artwork/experiences
Others?
· Combination of above?
· Web-based?
· Experiential?
· Performance? The choice is up to you! Just make sure it meets the expectations!
Important Dates
Finals will be due on the day of finals (Tuesday, December 19). If we decide as a group, we will do the critique on Friday, December 15.
On the day of finals, if your final is something that needs to be formally presented, you will have approximately 6-8 minutes to present. If your final is something that just needs to be turned in, you will have approximately 1-2 minutes to share what you did with the class. Everyone, at minimum will at least share what they did with the class on the day of Finals.
We will also have a critique of your concentration project and all of your work from this semester.
1. Finalize your vision for your concentration and adjust Concentration #1 and 2 as needed.
2. Complete a 3rd piece in your concentration (see Concentration webpage)
2. Create an artist statement that explains your concept of your concentration AND connects your concentration to what you have learned this semester.
