Concentrations from Mepham AP artists class of 2009
Below are examples of Concentrations from all Portfolio types made by Mepham A.P. Artists class of 2009. They are as displayed just as they will be seen from the A.P. College Board Website along side their concentration statements.
Examples of Drawing Concentrations:
Portraits as described through Layering. (Literal layering of figures evolving into experimental layering of materials (paper, acetate, paint etc,) to reveal the layers of personality and character found within a portrait.

My concentration is titled "It was just a dream", the dreamer reinterprets the characters in her life and places them in the context of her mind. I apply each mark with an energetic stroke of the brush that dances around the page creating direction, rhythm and form. I helped to express the mood of each painting and character by using deep colors. I used each painting as a way to deal with my own struggles in an attempt to find myself. My goal was to attempt to figure out who we are as people and figure out which is the better of the roads to choosing my paintings. In my journey of exploring all these issues I came closer in finding who I am and how to experiment with my ideas even more. In letting go I have become able to be more involved in what I am creating. I envisioned myself in the shoes of those I painted and brought out what I saw. As it progressed for me it became more experimental and involuntary I created my works. My paintings would speak to me and pushed me to create something new and exciting. As I would make more pieces it would become larger and have greater mood.

Coming from German descent I have been privileged enough to visit to Germany a number of times giving me a new perspective on a new way of life. Typically, my perception of Germany has been pristine and orderly but I was compelled to stop when spotting photograph the site of abandoned buildings. I have always been interested in architecture, texture, and age photographing this site enables me to combine all my loves into my concentration.
I have always been obsessed with the form of wrinkles and texture. In fact, I began the year planning to submit a drawing portfolio and had rendered form of stumps, sponges, crumpled up paper, and anything I could get my hands on. However, during my trip to Germany I was compelled by a site of abandoned houses (that was so different from my normal perception of the country), that I had to stop and photograph it. At the site I found disregarded objects left surrounding the houses, again I was enamored by the texture, age, and depletion of the environment so much so that I switched to a 2D portfolio.

My concentration visually represents a play on words. I chose to portray clichés in a literal way through a combination of text and images. In this way I was able to challenge myself conceptually as well as compositionally and show how artwork can speak to an audience with or without words. I hope that the work causes people to think and question what they often take for granted as true while still allowing them to relate to clichés that are frequently heard.

The Girl Who Lost Everything is a book that shows the progression a young girl’s life and how it was “turned upside down” by not cleaning her room. Watching the mess grow she began to lose the things that ultimately are most important to her, not only her favorite toy, but her relationship with her family as well. Children illustrations gave me the opportunity to combine my background and love for fashion illustration and while exploring light and color.
As I became more invested in the story the characters and their world became more specific. The detail element began to directly relate to the characters personality. I grew attached to picking out the pattern of the skirt to the red barrel of monkeys hanging off her desk to the printed teacups and the graphic designs from every toy box and chinchilla food. Every element has been planned from mismatched clothes and the uneven bangs on Violet to her pet chinchilla attempting to escape the chaos.

About the test sections & requirements
There are 3 different sections of the test for each portfolio.
Section I: Quality
The Quality section promotes the development of a sense of excellence in art. For this section, students submit five works that best demonstrate excellence. There are no preconceptions about what the work will look like-it may have been created quickly or over a long period of time; it may be derived from observation, imagination, or a combination. The five works chosen for the Quality section may come from the student's Concentration section and/or Breadth section, but they don't have to. They may be a group of related works, unrelated works, or a combination of related and unrelated works.
Section II: Concentration
The Concentration section shows the student's in-depth exploration of a particular design concern. It is presented as 12 images, some of which may be second views or details of works. The emphasis is on a coherent idea and development of an idea through a body of work, in addition to the artistic success of the work.
Section III: Breadth
The Breadth section shows the range of experimentation and experience in design. In addition to the quality of the work, this section is scored on the degree to which it actually shows a variety of approaches to design.
The 3-D Portfolio at a glance
The Advanced Placement Program in Studio Art: 3-D Design is a performance-based visual exam. Each student develops and submits a portfolio that serves as a direct demonstration of achievement. The term "3-D Design" is used very broadly; a wide range of work can fit into this portfolio. Logically, work that is submitted for this portfolio will explore depth and space -- that is, the issues of working in three dimensions. Content, style, and process are completely open. Whatever direction the student chooses, the work should address such issues as mass, volume, form. Any three-dimensional medium may be used for this portfolio.
Requirements for 3-D Portfolio
SECTION I: Quality 10 images; (submitted online) two different views of five separate works
SECTION II: Concentration 12 images; some may be details
SECTION III: Breadth 16 images; two different views of eight separate works

About the 3 different Portfolio types, Which are you?
The Drawing Portfolio at a glance
In the Drawing portfolio, mastery of drawing can be demonstrated through a wide range of approaches and media. Light and shade, line quality, rendering of form, composition, surface manipulation, and the illusion of depth are drawing issues that can be addressed through a variety of means, which could include painting, printmaking, mixed media, etc. Abstract, observational, and inventive works may be submitted. The range of marks used to make drawings, the arrangement of the marks, and the materials used to make the marks are endless.
Requirements for the Drawing Portfolio
SECTION I: 5 actual works; shipped to the College Board (may be from Breadth or Concentration or neither)
SECTION II: Concentration 12 images; some (no more than 2)may be details
SECTION III: Breadth 12 images
SECTION II: Concentration 12 images; some (no more than 2)may be details
SECTION III: Breadth 12 images
The 2-D Portfolio at a glance
The term "2-D Design" is used very broadly; a wide range of work can fit into this portfolio. The unifying idea for the portfolio is that the student focuses on making decisions about how to use the principles and elements of art to create works of art that convey meaning. In some cases, the "meaning" of the work may involve messages on a literal level (for example, graphic design, product design). However, "meaning" is just as likely to take the form of abstract or purely visual coherence. What's critical is that sense of deliberate manipulation of the visual tools represented by the elements and principles. The work may be highly technological, or it may be created with the most simple means. Any two-dimensional medium may be used for this portfolio.
