AP 2-D/3-D

AP 2-D and 3-D courses require students to create art that will assess students’ artistic abilities in terms of quality, concentration of expression, and breadth. Students need to have some foundation in digital art creation.

Attending one-on-one or small group tutorials with a tutor dedicated to your artwork will add to your artwork and make it easier for you to get a high score in this course.

AP 2D Art and Design Course

Description:

AP 2D Art and Design will introduce students to creative practice, methodology and visual communication in 2D mediums. Students will develop art and design skills by engaging in sustained investigations in response to a series of creative prompts. In doing so, students will create a portfolio of creative work that will showcase their unique interests and can be submitted for AP assessment for post-secondary credit.

Course/Learning Objectives:

The successful completion of AP 2D Art and Design will allow students to:

• Effectively communicate critical thinking, process and vision for creative projects
• Develop a collection of creative work driven by a sustained investigation for their portfolio
• Hone drawing and painting skills
• Effectively utilize image editing software for digital illustrations and image effects (eg.

Photoshop, Illustrator and Procreate)

• Communicate designs using technical drafting conventions
• Effectively utilize CAD software for 2D drafting (eg. Rhino)

Features specific to Canstar:

• Students learn and absorb material at their own, unique pace. In addition to general course lessons, our instructors provide customized support and direction to assist students in their creative explorations and to meet course learning objectives.
• Students receive personal mentorship for AP portfolio development and academic planning for post-secondary studies.

AP 3D Art and Design Course

Description:

AP 3D Art and Design is an inquiry-based approach to creative practice and methodology. Students will investigate materials, processes, and concepts in three-dimensional projects that respond to a series of creative prompts. In doing so, students will develop analog and

digital 3D modeling skills that will allow them to create, explore, and communicate their work.

By the end of the course, students will have produced a portfolio of work that will showcase their unique interests and can be submitted for AP assessment for post-secondary credit.
