AP PORTFOLIOS


The AP 2009 portfolios are now online. Scroll down to view the sample 3D portfolios. Examine each the quality, breadth and concentration. Read over the requirements and scoring guidelines. Take notes in your sketch book. Write down any questions that you have. Make sure you have a clear understanding of what is expected of you and how many pieces you need to complete.

Currently you need to be working on your heArt and Soul piece to be ready for firing by 11/15.
You also need to contribute a piece for our fund raiser at Jon Carl's Salon. You can design a box or decorate a purse. We will take photos so that these pieces can still be included in your portfolio. These pieces are due early in November.

heART and Soul


Your ideas for the heArt and Soul auction are due now. Please share your sketches with me this week. The deadline is early December. Have several ideas ready.
Remember: you need time to work, dry, fire, glaze and fire again. Large pieces need lot of time to dry.
