Final Grades

Final Grades will be based on TWO portfolio scores.

  • ONE: the work completed the last third of the semester:
    • GD: 3/6 of the options on the breadth page.
    • Photo: 3-4 of the options on the breadth page.
    • Traditional: Empathy, Sticky Note Portraits, Cubism
  • TWO: your progress on the AP Portfolio:
    • 9 pieces of breadth
    • 5 Concentrations (6 will be due the first day of 2nd semester)
You will ALL be submitting a minimum of 1 piece of art to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Take time to go through the categories and see which area you would like to pursue. You can submit more.  The cost is:

2.50 per individual
10.00 per senior portfolio (seniors can submit two portfolios)

YOUR ENTIRE PORTFOLIO OF 24 PIECES MUST BE DONE BY THE SECOND WEEK IN APRIL.  YOU WILL ONLY HAVE 10 WEEKS (counting spring break) to finish.  You had 18 weeks, plus the summer to create the first 15 pieces.  Second semester is FAST & DIFFICULT.  Put yourself in the best position possible by finishing 1st semester strong!
