AP Studio Art: Summer Assignments
Assignment 1: Museum-Inspired Artwork
For this assignment. you will need to get out of Peabody and see some art. Go to a museum and find your favorite piece there. Create a sketch of the work. Take a picture if photography is allowed. Then go home and create a piece of art inspired by what you saw. Remember, you are not creating a direct copy. You're going to take what you liked about the work and put your own unique spin on it.
Below is a list of several museums in the area. (These are suggestions; any art museum will do.) Many are available by bus and train. Some do charge admission, but the Peabody Institute Library has free passes available. So, no excuses! Get out and explore some art!
