This is a college level studio art course. The course is aligned with the SC Visual and Performing Arts Academic Achievement Standards. Students must be able to formulate and execute studio and research projects with a minimum direction by the teacher. The 3-D Design Portfolio is designed to address a very broad interpretation of 3-D form, composition, surface manipulation, and tension between positive and negative space. Abstract, observational, and inventive works may demonstrate a three dimensional competence, and media such as wood, metal, and clay may be used. The 3-D Design portfolio has a requirement of 8 pieces in a breadth section and up to 8 pieces in a concentration section. The complete portfolio is compiled and sent to the College Board for consideration of college credit. A more detailed course description is available online at apcentral.collegeboard.com.
