From the AP Studio Art Drawing Concentration Website Page

The concentration encourages the student to learn to put together a cohesive body of work. It is a challenging proposition, but there are any number of ways to help students think about their concentration. The goal is to have the student create work that holds together visually and conceptually. The idea does not have to be grandiose - it can be a simple idea explored well.

·         Scoring Guidelines
The judges will be looking for:
Coherence and/or development - is the work presented actually a concentration?

·         Quality of the concept/idea represented - is there evidence of thinking and of focus?

·         Degree of development and investigation that is evident in the work - including the amount of work or number of pieces represented.

·         Quality of the work in both concept and technique.

·         Mastery of drawing techniques

·         An evocative theme and original vision

·         Excellent Quality

·         This power point shows works and what scores they received

Show students this if they have questions:

Helpful tips for your concentration:

KEEP IT SIMPLE! If your concentration were a book and each artwork a page, how would all of your images connect together to be unified?

How would the viewer be able to visually connect your images? How can you present a visually coherent body of work?
