The State of Arizona has closed all schools due to the COVID-19 virus for a minimum of 2 weeks.  During this time, AP Art students should work on any loose ends that they have for their Sustained investigation.  This would include:

1.  Finishing any past works that are unfinished.

2.  Take pictures (phone pics are fine if they are of good quality) of any new/fnished work that they did over spring break.  Remember, progress pictures are a must!

3.  Work on their 150 character descriptions for the new work.  Remember, that is 150 character descriptions of how each work fits into their Sustained Investigation, as well as a 150 character description of their media and processes.

When we return from the school closure, we will do a portfolio review of all 15 of their slides.  BE READY for this!  Depending on how long the schools are shut down, we might not have a lot of time before the portfolios are due!

This project will be the last piece for most students in their sustained investigaiton.  Students have the choice of medium and size that they will work with, and they should ensure that the concept behind their piece fits in with the concept behind their sustained investigation.
