We have decided to simplify the summer assignment this year. When you look at it you may think it is no big deal and assume that you can put it off "until later". If you do, the summer may pass and you may have to rush to finish everything at the last minute.
That would be a big mistake!
If you want to know how important it is to do your best consistently, ask the AP Studio Art and Portfolio students.
If you want some details about the actual AP testing day, just ask those in that class who completed it last week.
If you are interested in the process of creating a body of work that fulfills the requirements for either class, they will be happy to explain that too. If you have questions about the recent gallery showings, they can explain it all for you.You just might want to take some time to get some advice from them. It is all very fresh in their minds right now!
As with many things, these classes are different for each person who goes through them.
A lot of what you get out of them depends on what you put into them.
My suggestion is to resolve to begin by spending time over the summer keeping a journal, completing your summer assignments thoughtfully, doing some reading on art-related topics, or visiting a museum or two.
Don't let the extra time summer provides pass you by without working on your art. Once it's gone you can't get it back. And wouldn't it be nice to walk into your senior year with several nice pieces to get you off to a great start?
Check out this site regularly. Read what's going on and leave some thoughts for all of us. Make sure you also take a few minutes to post some images and explanations of what you are doing (academic or otherwise). Who knows? Maybe something you share here will inspire a really good piece of work!
