1 AP Studio Art 3-D Design Summer Assignment Ms. Donna Grasso Plan on completing two (2) assignments over the summer. INFORMATION ON AP 3-D: THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL BE WORKING ON THIS NEXT YEAR FOR THE AP 3D PORTFOLIO Compilation of 22 works of 3-D art that completes the three sections of I. Quality-(YOUR BEST WORK) II. Concentration (COMMON THEME) III. Breadth (A VARIETY OF WORKS, DIFFERENT MEDIUMS) Students are expected to produce work that demonstrates their mastery of concept development, composition, and college level technical execution. Section I Quality DON T WORRY ABOUT QUALITY NOW 5 works of art chosen from all of your work Complete five works that best demonstrates excellence. Works will be chosen 2nd semester from student s Concentration and/or Breadth, and/or other works. Section II Concentration 12 works of art Complete 12 highly crafted works that demonstrate an in-depth exploration of a personally realized design concept or concern. A common theme. Section III Breadth 8 works Complete 8 highly crafted works that demonstrates experimentation of a wide range of techniques, approaches, and media in 3 D design

2 SUMMER ASSIGNMENTS (due first week of school): The 5 summer assignments will be due the 1st week of school. The assignments will be graded, and they make up a significant portion of your grade for the first marking period. I am assuming that you have at least 2 pieces of 3D artwork from previous years that will go towards your Breadth section of the portfolio. If you do not feel you have artwork that is AP quality (COLLEGE LEVEL), then you might want to work on more projects during the summer. I encourage you to take advantage of your extra time this summer. REMEMBER THE MORE YOU MAKE THIS SUMMER, THE LESS YOU WILL NEED TO DO DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. ASSIGNMENT 1: Acquire a Pinterest account and create an AP 3-d board. (Create this over the summer and friend request me so I can view your AP-3d board.) ASSIGNMENT 2: Your Checklist Objective: Fill out the checklist (attached to the end) that includes your works from prior years and summer work that fulfill requirements for the Breadth section and/or Concentration section. Rational: We both need to know where you stand and what you need to work on. ASSIGNMENT 3: 1) List of 20 possible themes/subjects 2) List of 20 possible materials (10 traditional materials and 10 materials that you can NOT get from an art store...such as bottle caps, bubble wrap) ASSIGNMENT 4: LOOK AT ART!!!! 1) Visit a place where 3D art is being exhibited and review at least 6 3D pieces of artwork. It can be a: museum, gallery, studio, restaurant, office building. It can be online. You don t have to go far. 2) Upload images One image per page in your sketchbook include the following: 1. A printed images of works that you see to Pinterest, (most of you have photo capabilities on your phones) or get a small sketchbook and do a thumbnail sketch. 2. Name of artist 3. Title of work 4. What is it made of? 6. Why did you choose this work? Find pieces that you can incorporate into your work this next year. You will need to be able to talk about the artwork. We will have classroom critiques the third Friday of every month.

3 ASSIGNMENT 5: Make Art! Objective: Using found and recycled objects you will assemble the objects in a unique way with high craftsmanship to produce a functional or nonfunctional 3D sculpture that takes on new meaning. For Inspiration and background: Read and view the following website on Heath Nash Rational: The found/recycled object project is a college level assignment that is given at many art schools, fashion schools, and colleges with art programs. You need to be resourceful and think outside the box. Answers to questions you might have: What are found objects? Found objects are objects that have been created for a purpose other than art and are usually every day objects that have a specific function. Just a few examples: household items tools musical instruments furniture toothbrushes mops and brooms photographs plastic bottles kitchen utensils toys animal skeletons rulers books clothes shoes soda cans shells nuts and bolts maps glass computer parts pens pencils bottle caps anything in the garage, shed, back of your closet. What am I going to do with my found objects? Reconstruct and/or alter objects by: cutting them up, rearranging the parts, assembling other parts, weaving, hammering, wiring, stretching, hanging, etc. Modify their meaning: the final sculpture becomes more important than its individual parts.

4 Create: A cool sculpture A humorous sculpture A functional or nonfunctional vessel Jewelry Clothing Representational sculpture Have fun! And plan on having your work on display at school this fall. How do I put the found/recycled objects together? Glue, wire, solder (if you know how) string, rivets, staples, fold over the edges, nails, screws, nuts and bolts, duct tape, sew with thread/wire/fishing string. Use your imagination! BUT MAKE SURE THAT ALL ATTACHED AREAS ARE DELIBERATE AND CONSISTENT! Remember to show high degree of craftsmanship (if you use a glue gun make sure all of the little stringy things are cleaned off) What if I need ideas? Research: Use Pinterest, Google or Bing.com: recycled sculpture, recycled jewelry, recycled art, recycled fashion, found object sculpture, found object jewelry, found object clothing, rubbish art, etc. Found object art is a huge movement. There is a lot of cool stuff out there. Websites: FOR EVERYTHING RECYCLABLE: RESOURCES 7 INSPIRATIONS: ANIMALS:
