1. A concentration is a group of related works describing an in-depth exploration of a particular artistic concern.
2. It should reflect a process of investigation of a specific visual idea. To me, this means that there must be a visual thread that connects all the pieces in your concentration, not just a concept. I use the term “visual theme”such as PORTRAIT, LANDSCAPE, STILL LIFE, etc. The direction you go in is as broad as your imagination, but the pieces MUST have a common visual theme.
3. It is NOT a selection of a variety of works produced as solutions to class projects or a collection of works with differing intents
4. For this section, 12 digital images must be submitted, some of which may be details.
For 3D : The Concentration area will consist of 12 images of art (some of them may be second views or details); five pieces of art (2 views of each, 10 images) of which will be singled out and therefore submitted as original quality pieces for submission to the College Board at the end of the course along with slides of all 28 images.
