  1. AP or IB – Which approach to Studio should you choose? AP - ADVANCED PLACEMENT for potential college credit, as an isolated discipline IB - INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE, a diploma program, that could include Studio Art as the elective component of the hexagon, or taken as a certificate, an isolated discipline

  2. The IB Hexagon

  3. IB COURSES ARE TAKEN EITHER SL OR HL SL – Subsidiary Level, (lower level) usually a one-year course. (150 hours) HL – Higher Level, usually a two-year course. (240 hours) Of the six courses in the hexagon - Three courses must be taken at an SL level Three courses must be taken at an HL level

  4. Both AP and IB involve developing a CONCENTRATION: An ORIGINAL style or approach in a UNIFIED body of work IB should be more international in scope

  5. What is a “Concentration”? Work showing technical competence and self-direction Work that is personal with a unifying theme A “style” typical of the student Work that reflects awareness of history and cultures, both here and abroad

  6. Both AP and IB require excellent PRODUCTS. IB is also very concerned with PROCESS. PROCESS is how one starts, develops, and refines an idea, resulting in a final Studio piece. This is revealed in the IB Investigation Workbook

  7. AP Final portfolio requirements • 2-D images only, no sculpture. • 24 uploaded .jpg images: • 12 of the concentration, • 12 of “breadth” showing variety; • 5 actual matted and sealed images, • 18”x 24” or less, shipped to ETS. • A statement explaining • your concentration.

  8. IBFinal portfolio requirements • Both2-D and 3-D work allowed; • Approx. 16 pieces for SL, (150 hours) • 23 pieces for HL; (240 hours) • Investigation Workbooks (Journals): • Approx. 1 complete IW for SL, • 1 ½ - 2 IW for HL • Candidate Booklet – • Twelve 4”x 6” photos of your work, • 15 – 30 photocopies of • workbook pages, depending…, • Student statement, 300 words or less

  9. How the portfolios are graded (Assessment) AP – Uploaded images, 5 actual pieces, and concentration statement are sent to Educational Testing Service in Princeton. Grades and the 5 pieces are sent back to the students in August. IB – External assessment: Portfolio images are uploaded and a recorded interview is sent to IB. More info on this will follow. Internal assessment: Investigation workbooks are graded by the IB teacher. Grades are sent to students in July.

  10. Grading scale AP – 1-5 IB – 1-7 Find out what your chosen college accepts for credit!

  11. WHY TAKE THE TEST? A valid grade accepted by your college could exempt you from Art Foundations or an elective course, SAVING YOU MONEY. Again, it is vital that you find out what your chosen college requires for credit.

  12. WHY NOT TAKE THE TEST? In fact, you should not take the test unless your portfolio and related materials are very strong. You will, however, approach the course as if you are taking the test and will be graded accordingly.

  13. Homework Emphasis AP – Teacher-directed assignments will develop “breadth” in your portfolio. IB – The Investigation Workbook counts for 40% of your grade. Therefore, the IB candidate should work on it every week. The link between the IW and Studio work should be clear and strong.

  14. FINAL THOUGHTS: • This is an Honors Level course • The work load is RIGOROUS • The grading will be tough • Focus and dedication are essential • You will not excel or progress • UNLESS YOU PUSH YOURSELVES
