Course Overview

AP Art & Design is a year long, senior honors level class that positions students for a career in art & design. We covered this through the development of the AP Art & Design - Sustained Investigation. This Advanced Placement course holds students up to standards and expectations equivalent to a first-year college art course. The course focused on the ongoing process of making art in a way that develops the student’s technical, conceptual, and aesthetic skills as well as problem solving and critical thinking skills. Students were expected to continually work towards mastery in their artwork through their investigation into technical, conceptual and aesthetic development, in both their primary medium and other mediums. Students had many opportunities for critique, reflection and to revise work to reach the goal of mastery.

My portfolio is based upon Afro-Futurism; an ode to past African American culture with a more modern futuristic spin. In this portfolio, I went for a vintage modern cross using wardrobe and the style of editing. I wanted to showcase the beauty of my fine melanated brothers and sisters using things like stereotypes, profiling, and vintage attire. I planned to show people that black is beautiful no matter what.

My topic is violence and investigating why people hurt people and themselves.Through this, I wanted to capture emotions that victims may feel as well as the things are never what they really seem and everyone has a story. It all begins with your childhood and upbringing. In the family photo if you look around you can see how the father's abuse to the mother effects their children. Pictures 3 and 5 represent the emotions when harming your self or others, 3 shows the emotions you feel while harming yourself which is contentment while 5 shows the anger returning after. Throughout my investigation, I try to show the affects and convey all the emotions one feels when they witness or undergo violence.

There were a lot of questions that guided my sustained investigation. The questions that were frequently thought about were why/how does gentrification happen, how does gentrification affect people,  and can gentrification be a benefit. After answering these questions I thought more about showing gentrification in a way that has never been seen. At first I wanted to do something simple, but I needed it to make sense so I decided to take pictures & transform my photos so that something is the center of attention.                                                       

The questions were answered by there being something out of place in all my pictures or one thing being the main focus so that everything else becomes irrelevant. For example, the tree branches show a lot of gentrification because the branches seem to be the important part while everything else comes off as irrelevant. Which is how I chose to show gentrification without using houses and renovated neighborhoods.

My sustained investigation is about anxiety and how it repeats itself and how it takes effect on the person having one and the people around them. In my pictures, I based them off the color and how the color theme of my pictures are dark vs light pictures. In my pictures, you can see that the color is explaining the mood for the picture and giving off the effect of sadness and darkness feeling the mood of the person in the picture. In the pictures where I have them lay on top of each other, it shows how anxiety feels so many different emotions. The reason I focused on anxiety is that anxiety plays a part in the world today  - everyone has it and every person goes through different things and different actions. Some people may have it but it's not to the point they have a panic attack. Anxiety comes in different forms but the same areas of stress and I wanted to show that in my pictures to have the same pictures but in different forms.

My sustained investigation is focused on the lives of black families in America, and how unfortunate circumstances within the home affect the way black children view the world around them. Each piece reflects the emotions black children feel when they are subjected to household dysfunction, that is caused by issues such as financial instability, domestic violence, and single parenting. In the beginning of my Sustained Investigation, I was unsure of what painting style I wanted to use in my work. I've always been attracted to realistic illustrations and paintings, so I thought that that was the direction I wanted to go into. But after starting several paintings I switched to a more expressive and abstract style because it gave me the freedom to use a wider variety of colors, brush strokes, and materials. Many emotions are associated with a specific colors, so I studied the meanings of each color and created a color scheme that represented the mood of each painting. Black yarn was used to create the gestured figures, and the hanging strings are a symbol of time/history. The gold leaf seen in each painting signifies the power black children have to break cycle of dysfunction within the black community.

​For my Sustained Investigation, I I am exploring self worship and how a person's self interests or qualities can create their own “religion." I thought about how a person could be their own “god” or “goddess” because we’re all capable of creating, destroying, and improving. Overall, I want to express these ideas with an up-to-date/modern feel. In ancient Egyptian and Greek culture, they would make paintings and sculptures of the gods to tell their stories and preserve their legacy. This really was my first inspiration. After asking my models personal questions, we basically created their own specific religions. Based on their answers, I shot pictures of them in various locations I felt best showcased their beliefs and personality.

My Sustained Investigation goes upon researching the different branches of sin derived from the 10 Commandments, even though the 10 commandment were made in B.C. In the Old Testament, those sins still hoards the actions and beliefs of people to this day. My pieces consist of the sins of disbelief and lust.

Damani Hicks

My S.I. is based on fears and phobias and how they affect someone's daily life. Basically it is how people with fears have to live with them day by day. Most of my pictures have dark figures in them because most of the time, you don't think about colors when you think about fears. I also used black and grey to contrast but not have a lot of lighter colors in my images. My goal was to make people feel the fear that these people fear on a daily basis and with my set of work, I feel like I completed my goal.

Khah'Lyn Ingram

My investigation is surrounding mental illness and how it affects everyone, especially the African American youth. For my investigation I decided to use poetry and photography to convey my message. Every picture and poem is answering one question I used to guide my investigation; “Have you ever looked at someone and wondered ‘What is going on inside their head?’” Every piece in my investigation is about a different mental illness, and behind every piece is a pile of revisions that got me to my final pieces. Working through this process was long and eye opening. With all of the revisions came a new idea, a new experiment. I played around with typography, fake blood and other props. This investigation forced me to think about the message my art sends and how personal my art could be to me and still appeal to others.

Alice Jackson-Clark

National Art Honor Society

The overall question I am trying to answer is “What makes us human beings?” I ask that in both a literal sense and a figurative sense. Literally, as in what parts of our bodies or what behaviors do we exhibit that determine such a thing. But also figuratively, as in what concepts revolve around the idea of “being human”. What does it truly mean to be a human? ​

Adrienne Jefferson

National Art Honor Society

The guiding question of my sustained investigation is: How to Reach Your Higher Self. This idea develops a better sense of one’s being internally and externally. It allows you to envision a successful version of yourself and feel happier overall. While creating these pieces I was experiencing these events myself, so I wanted to illustrate just that. Nature is essential in this process, I used mediums that illustrated the texture and feeling. I incorporated energy and frequencies into my pieces through the use of repetition and rhythm. Organic and circular shapes were used to illustrate unity, rebirth and natural elements. The colors purple, blue and green are used to represent the positive energy, and warmer colors red, orange and yellow are used to represent of negative energy. I created paint using chalk pastel and water to give the paint a more dry, natural look, similar to the gouache paint. Gold leaf was used to illustrate the strength and importance that gold carries. The shapes were also used to develop a sense of space. At first, I wanted to use vibrant colors, but after long thought, I decided to use desaturated colors to carry the natural aesthetic, as well as the gold.

My investigations about thanataphobia, the fear of death/dying. Throughout these pieces I wanted to show moment that would be considered positive like self care or reminiscing. Included in some of the pieces are elements of death. I added these things to show that even in a normal day in your life, remnants of death still linger, whether you may or may not notice it, which is why it's quite hidden or need some thinking to understand what it all means. I tried my best to make it as realistic as I could for the immersion.

Keirian McRae

National Art Honor Society

In 2014, I suffered from chronic sinusitis, a condition in which spaces in your nose and head are swollen and inflamed for an extended period of time. The infection grew close to my brain and eye socket. A lack of oxygen and blood to my brain caused my vision to become blurry and colors appeared irregularly. After the ordeal subsided, I felt like my life was different in many ways but I could not place my finger on any concrete resolve. Searching for what I felt, my mind raced and I needed people to know, as I also wanted to know about other people’s experiences

My portfolio details the answers I found and is titled: Ocular Engine. It tells the narrative of an individual’s mental state while losing their ordinary vision. The interactions during the process are based on the individual’s distorted perception of the world around them. These interactions with the world around them are in stages. The stages are: changes in nature and reality, isolation from the world, and chaos. It is called Ocular Engine due to your eyes perpetuating the instability within the individual’s own mind.

Even the few pieces that I have completed I think that the idea that I was touched on deeply in my work. I posed a simple question that is fundamental to my identity and that of many of my peers and a gave visual representation of the feelings that arise when I think about it to myself. I feel as though most of the pieces are some of my most aesthetically pleasing pieces of work that I have ever done and show that even though I played around a lot this year I learned quite a bit in the regard of my own personal skill as an artist. I think that I could further develop my ability to create a visually pleasing scene though and that would push my pieces much further in the future. If I wasn't at least this effective in visual skill though I do think that my message would have been heavily diluted. I would have just focused harder earlier to learn faster.

My sustained investigation question is how do colors affect perception. It focuses on the idea of synesthesia, which is a brain condition that deals with interpreting sounds as colors. When I first started creating pieces for my portfolio, I was focusing on the colors that can be connected with different types of music. This led me to use our human sense of hearing as it connects more to sound, but I also wanted to show how all five senses can be perceived as colors. I wanted my investigation to be more broad. In each of my images, there are one or more of our human senses with multiple colors placed over them. Each of the colors that I included have a significant meaning.The brighter colors such as orange, yellow, and the shade of green connects with words like happiness, energy, and growth; While the darker colors such as red, blue, and purple have meanings of excitement, strength, and sensitivity.

My investigation is about what it means to be a women in the 21st century. I wanted to cover the positives and the negatives because both are important and women have come a long way, yet still have a long way to go. I included things like the Me Too and Times Up movements, feminism and sexism, which are all important to women living in the 21st century. My investigation is aesthetically pleasing because they are all tied together with the reoccurring theme of pink and women, this really brings the pieces together. I believe that this series doesn't perfectly accomplish the goals of the overall investigation because I didn't get to add in every detail I wanted, but I feel as though, overall I have gotten my point across. ​

My Sustained Investigation is about the stress and the mental illnesses that teenagers go through. I used the Alice In Wonderland theme to express this in my portfolio. Throughout all of the images you can see the way things might be going through their head. Like the blurry picture it's blurry because it's so much stuff going on and the one with the girl standing there and looking towards the words. You can tell that the end of it all because everything has calmed down and it looks like she's reflecting that what the hourglass on the floor signifies is time, the time now, in the past, and what's to come in the future. I used a lot of different elements and principles in these images such as leading lines, birds eye view, color, shade, value and saturation.

In my investigation, I took a deep dive into PTSD. The emotional aspects of the disorder comes by way of trauma. Most don’t understand it. I want my art portfolio to reflect both the mental and the physical sides of it. I hope to educate people about PTSD. Traumatic experiences of PTSD often produce emotional triggers can transplant the sufferer from reality back to the place of trauma.

Originally based around families, with the investigation for my portfolio I chose to show what effects a person, people or events can have on an individual. These many things could result to emotions and actions related to depression, anger and more. Pieces are purposefully out of context although some may come off as cliche. All the photos were edited in black and white to better fit the mood with it's simplicity, there were also exposure adjustments to each photo. Throughout this process there were many artist such as Vuhlandes, Benz (photographer) and many more for reference in terms of composition, lighting, etc.

For my idea, I have chosen Street Fashion and Beauty Editorial. This genre represents the opposite of high fashion. It showcases wardrobes that people like to wear every day. Unlike high fashion, street fashion has a more rugged look. Beauty Editorial is not like a regular editorial, a beauty editorial focuses on the face and the top half of the model. Its purpose is to show the small items that the subject is wearing. These include rings, earrings, and other small pieces of jewelry. Apart from jewelry, beauty editorials are also useful when it comes to showcasing headwear. It’s all about shirts, jeans, hoodies, and other fashion articles you often see people use in urban areas. Of course, it doesn’t mean that a regular t-shirt and a pair of jeans make up street fashion. Street fashion often comes off different for everyone, because everyone street fashion is different. Trying to have a set idea on street fashion would be complicated because it’s all different types. On the other hand Beauty Editorial is not like a regular editorial, a beauty editorial focuses on the face and the top half of the model. Its purpose is to show the small items that the subject is wearing. Beauty editorials also emphasize the model’s natural appeal. That’s why it’s useful in highlighting hairstyles and makeup. There are even occasions when people use it to show nail art. So I believe this is an important idea to focus on because it relates to me. This is something i’m really into and love doing, and have been trying to serve a purpose behind it and convey a message. I believe all people in our city have their own way of showing off their streetwear based on where they have lived, and what area they have stayed in, and based off what they like.
