Do you have a lot of portfolios to manage? Are you trying to manage multiple different classes? Do you have students creating a portfolio that you do not see every day? Do you have people doing a directed study for AP Art? What about students learning from home? Whatever your situation, this is the document to help! I print the corresponding sheet for each AP Art student at the beginning of the year or semester and keep them in a bradded folder with all my other important information for AP Art

Use this handout to help students write their own guiding questions for the AP art portfolio. Just print and go! I like to make students copy their favorite questions in their sketchbook and collect these handouts to keep. I have them in a file for each student with writing samples that I give back to them when they start entering their images and writing their evidence online.

I have taken this article and put it into an easy to print format to share with students. I share the images of student art on the projector and we discuss them. The students then read the article on their own or with a partner. They have a highlighter or colored pen in hand to mark what resonates with them. I have used this resource in person and with distance learner with success.

The students then read the article on their own or with a partner. They have a highlighter or colored pen in hand to mark what resonates with them. I then make them use the graphic organizer flowchart to reflect on the topic they have chosen. They write about 3-5 sentences about their choice based on the article. The next day, I split t

Handout and directions for student. I use this for two separate grades. The first page is where they answer questions and the last page they write it as a coherent artist statement. The page in the middle explains where on the AP art submission website students should type in their work. This file is what I shared with students who were distance learners in the Spring when it was time to do the written evidence portion of their AP art portfolio. It could also be printed out and used in the class

These refection questions are divided in two parts are from the college board website for AP Studio art students. Give them to students as needed to help them reflect on their art making process. Have students reflect early and often to help guide them in the right direction. I usually give students part one about 1/3 into their portfolio and part two when they should be working on their last 2-3 pieces. I give them several days to fill these out and I let them take them home so I get really tho

This sheet is a planning sheet I give to students to complete their last month in the AP art course. It walks them through the planning and reflecting steps needed for choosing the pieces for their selected works portion of their portfolio. It makes a great final if you have semester classes.

This sheet is a planning sheet I give to students to complete after they have made their first piece for their sustained investigation in Advanced Placement Art. It walks them through all the planning steps needed for their sustained investigation portion of their portfolio. It makes a great midterm if you have semester classes.

Before students begin this art project in AP, I have my students create a Pinterest.com inspiration board and share it with me. This packet is created to guide students through all the things the AP scoring rubric mentions. This is assigned on the first piece students create for the SUSTAINED INVESTIGATION portion of their AP Art portfolio. I collect this packet the day after that first piece was due. After this piece, I expect students to do their own research, planning experimentation, process

After the preliminaries, this is the first important assignment I have students do in AP Art. I go over the course description and the scoring rubric from college board. I explain the sustained investigation and give students a list of sustained investigation topics that other students have been successful using. I then have them fill out this proposal and meet with me one-on-one with this filled out sheet and their sketchbook. It gives me an idea of what they are thinking of doing from early on

Artist research sheet. I give these handouts to my AP Art students throughout the year to see what artists they are following. It serves a few purposes. It keeps me up to date on the latest popular artists. It also gives me an easy in to tell my students about artists I think they should know and help elevate their taste if needed. It also helps them recognize "real" artists practicing the parts of the AP portfolio scoring rubric that I focus on in class.

I give this list to my students at the beginning of their sustained investigation. It helps them remember all the different tips and tricks I have gathered through the years. I originally got a version of this from my official AP training and then have added to it each year. It is written to work for all three portfolio types.

This is a handout that walks students through the four steps of art criticism. They get to use a famous piece of art of their choosing. I use this after I have explicit taught all about the elements of art and principles of design. I then teach students the four steps of art criticism and use this as the "YOU DO" portion of that lesson. The "I DO" and "WE DO" are done verbally with posters or projector before I give students this handout.

I use these handouts to assess students understanding of the elements of arts and principles of design after I had lectured on each term explicitly. I show my students a lot of examples of famous art and allow to use google or their textbook for inspiration. This give me a clear snapshot of which concepts they understand and which I will need to spend more time covering. The rubric is on the top of the handout to help students know the expectations. I grade each drawing individually then total t

This is a perfect REVIEW assignment to post for your students who are distance learning! It puts the kids in charge of doing their own internet research. This is a project that is great to use in the classroom as well. I usually borrow the school's portable laptop cart and make this a few days project to review what I have taught about the elements of art and principles of design.

This is a handout that I use with students after each art project. I have found that it is an effective way to make students feel comfortable evaluating and discussing their own art in my classroom. It allows students to reflect on what they made. You can use this product as your only art critique, but I like to use it before a class critique so students are less shy or defensive.

This is a great vocabulary review activity. It gauges students understanding of the terms and what associations they have between the words. Authentic learning assessment.

COVID-19 themed! Art project that is perfect for in-person instruction, social distancing, learning from home, virtual instruction, homeschooling, not sharing supplies and using what you have. Mounira Al Sohl is a wonderful artist that makes "time document" portraits using the type of materials students have around their homes. Students research the artist's work, then can use Zoom to interview and draw others.

Are you tired of your students researching the same artists over and over? Then this list of contemporary artists should be useful! Provide this list to students to have them research some artists that may be new to you both.
