Senior / Summer MANDATORY Assignments

The following assignments MUST be completed over the summer in preparation of your College Level AP Studio Art Classes. Remember, you will be enrolled into two AP classes next year (3D Design & Drawing). Each piece that you complete this summer must be digitally documented and presented the first week back to school in the Fall. 3D projects must be documented with at least two views of each piece. You will receive a 100 point grade for each project that we are asking you to complete.

(Failure to complete one of the summer assignments will result in you receiving a 0).

  1. Construct a natural installation inspired by the work of Andy Goldsworthy (look him up)!!!!!!!. The construction should consider space and form and be
    constructed with natural materials. You might also consider color, texture and variety to make your piece more interesting. Remember, this piece is about the
    impermanence of Art; it does not have to last….just long enough for you to document it! Document this piece with at least two views
  2. Create a 1 hour contour line drawing of some household objects.
  3. Complete a detailed drawing of your feet with a mirror behind them…… you may choose to work from a photograph or from direct observation. We are
    looking for a QUALITY piece of work NOT A SKETCH. Invest time in this piece over the summer……..  Document this piece
  4. Collect a variety of small 3D items over the summer and throw them in a box. The items can be anything as long as they are INTERESTING. You will need a lot of
    various items for the first assignment in class in the Fall. Examples: broken toys, doll parts, mechanical devises, old photos, post cards, scrabble letters, old board
    games, stamps, etc……………… good luck on your summer scavenger hunt and have fun!
  5. Bring in a pair of inexpensive sunglasses and Styrofoam packing
