Identify in writing, materials, processes, and ideas used to make works of art and design. [Skill 3.C]

# data[].attributes.body
Materials are physical substances that artists and designers use to make works of art and design. Processes are physical and conceptual activities involved with making works of art and design. Ideas are concepts used to make works of art and design.

# data[].attributes.body
When identifying materials, processes, and ideas of a work of art or design in writing, it is important to: § Begin by carefully and methodically observing the work of art or design § Consider which components are used, as well as why and how they are used § Use clear, concise words to provide essential information about materials, processes, and ideas

# data[].attributes.body
When writing about materials, processes, and ideas used, it’s important to make strong connections between visual evidence seen in the work and the words used in writing. It may be helpful to avoid giving information that’s visually obvious and less important, instead focusing on more important and less visible aspects of the components used. For example, when identifying materials, processes, and ideas within a drawing of a tree that was made using a piece of charred twig and paper found on the ground, instead of identifying materials as “charcoal on paper” and process as “drawing,” the artist could identify materials as “burned twig on found paper” and processes as “foraging, burning, recycling, and observational drawing.”

Researching artists’ and designers’ written descriptions of components used in their work can further develop writing skills. Exchanging constructive feedback about clarity and effectiveness of writing about materials, ideas, and processes can also hone writing.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will write three written descriptions for their work of art. The written descriptions will be posted with the completed work of art for a gallery walk critique. The class will vote on which description best represents the work of art and process involved, while fulfilling the requirements specified by the CB ruric

Written identification of materials, processes, and ideas used to make art and design is a form of documentation that becomes a resource for the artist/designer. Documentation can be shared with viewers.

# data[].attributes.body
Describe how works of art and design demonstrate synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
Describing synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas of works of art and design builds understanding of how these components can coalesce or be integrated. Investigating and analyzing interactions of components within diverse works of art and design informs learning about how synthesis can be achieved. Discussing relationships between components of works of art and design can hone understanding of how synthesis is visually evidenced.

# data[].attributes.body
To describe relationships among materials, processes, and ideas in a work of art or design, it is important to: § Begin by carefully and methodically observing a work, identifying components individually: they can be pointed out, listed, and discussed § Compare characteristics of one component with another, identifying similarities and differences § Describe relationships among all three types of components (materials, processes, and ideas), giving examples of visual evidence of their connections § Consider how visual evidence of connections among the components could be strengthened to show synthesis: the effect of combined components being greater than the effect of individual ones

Describe how works of art and design demonstrate 2-D, 3-D, or drawing skills. [Skill 3.E]

# data[].attributes.body
Skills that are shown in a work of art or design can be pointed out, listed, and discussed, citing visual evidence from the work to support descriptions. Describing 2-D, 3-D, or drawing skills observed within diverse works of art and design builds understanding of how skills can be demonstrated. Discussing skills that are observed within works of art and design can hone understanding of how skills are visually evidenced.

# data[].attributes.body
To describe how skills are demonstrated in a work of art or design: § Carefully and methodically observe the work, identifying a specific skill that is visually evident. For example, focus on color within a graphic design, using words to describe how skillful use of color emphasizes shapes that are integral to the design concept. § Continue describing how other skills are shown § Consider how visual evidence of skills used within a work could be strengthened

Identify, in writing, questions or inquiry that guided a sustained investigation through art and design. [Skill 3.A]

# data[].attributes.body
To identify, in writing, questions or inquiry that guided a sustained investigation: § Reference documentation of questions or inquiry that were recorded throughout work on the sustained investigation § Reflect on the questions or inquiry that were initially formulated, and on how they changed as the sustained investigation took place § Carefully and methodically observe the work made throughout the sustained investigation § Use clear, concise words to identify questions or inquiry that guided the work § Consider connections between words within the questions or inquiry and visual evidence within the work of the sustained investigation § Communicate the inquiry that guided the work § Try different approaches to writing and evaluate their effectiveness in conveying questions or inquiry and aligning with the work within the portfolio

Describe, in writing, how a sustained investigation through art and design shows evidence of practice, experimentation, and revision guided by questions or inquiry. [Skill 3.B]

# data[].attributes.body
To describe in writing how a sustained investigation through art and design shows evidence of practice, experimentation, and revision guided by a question or inquiry: § Be sure questions or areas of inquiry guiding the sustained investigation are clearly identified in writing § Carefully and methodically observe the work within the sustained investigation § Reference documentation of practice, experimentation, and revision guided by questions or inquiry § Use clear, concise words to describe activities of practice, experimentation, and revision and how they were guided by questions or inquiry § Consider connections between the words within the description and visual evidence within the work of the sustained investigation § Try different approaches to writing and evaluate their effectiveness in conveying the practice, experimentation, and revision guided by questions or inquiry § Consider writing about what was done, how it was done (practice, experimentation, and revision in relation to questions), and why it was done (to conduct a sustained investigation through art and design)

Document presentation of works of art and design for viewer interpretation. [Skill 3.F]

# data[].attributes.body
Presenting works of art and design to viewers for interpretation involves making decisions about what to show, when to show it, how to show it, and to whom it is shown. Different ways of presenting work can lead to different interpretations—even for the artist or designer who made the work. The artist or designer has the power to affect how materials, processes, and ideas within a work are perceived, based on decisions they make about how they present or display the work.

# data[].attributes.body
Work can be presented informally—for example, showing work in progress and asking questions to elicit feedback about a specific component—or formally, such as showing a collection of completed works publicly to multiple viewers. Presentation can include information about the work, such as documentation of materials, processes, and ideas. It can include communication between the artist or designer and the viewer.

- Switch artwork/presentation so that the artist is in the viewer's seat (less anxiety).

- Silent gallery walk and written critiques

- Speed dating critiques

- Artist doesn't speak

- Critiques should be ongoing and not at the end

- Students rate others using AP rubric

Showing work to viewers can build artists’ and designers’ understanding of how viewers interpret materials, processes, and ideas they used to make a work. It can inform thinking and making.

# data[].attributes.body
When submitting an AP 2-D Art and Design, AP 3-D Art and Design, and AP Drawing portfolio, it is essential to present digital images and physical work for evaluation, so evaluators can clearly see accurate representations work and work processes. When digitally photographing works of art and design and process documentation for the portfolio, it is important to check lighting, focus, and overall clarity of each image to ensure legibility. Writing about the works is also part of the presentation. Writing should be carefully reviewed to ensure that it clearly conveys ideas in response to the prompts.

# data[].attributes.body
Presentation of works of art and design can be documented by recording information based on direct observation of what was shown, and why, how, and to whom it was shown. Documentation can include viewer interpretations of the work presented. Documentation of presentation becomes a resource for the artist/designer and it can be shared with viewers.
