Course Objective
Students will focus on in-depth, inquiry-based art and design making; on skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas; and on articulating information about their work.
Developing Ideas for Inquiry
Your portfolio is driven by you and your ideas. Spend time deciding your big idea. During the course of the year your idea will be explored, expanded, and revised.
3D Portfolio
There are two sections of the portfolio. You will create a sustained investigation that is guided by your big idea and supported by your written commentary. The second section is the Select works. These works can be from your Sustained investigation and may also be works that show your skills and understanding of 3D Design.

3D Design Focus
- Your work should focus on the use of three-dimensional (3-D) elements and principles of art and design, including point, line, shape, plane, layer, form, volume, mass, occupied/unoccupied space, texture, color, value, opacity, transparency, time, unity, variety, rhythm, movement, proportion, scale, balance, emphasis, contrast, repetition, connection, juxtaposition, and hierarchy.
- Think about how materials, processes, and ideas can be used to make work that involves space and form, whether physical or virtual.
- There’s no preferred or unacceptable content or style.
- Here are some formats you can submit: figurative or nonfigurative sculpture, architectural models, metal work, ceramics, glasswork, installation, performance, assemblage, and 3-D fabric/fiber arts.
