The Elgin High School Advanced Placement Art Studio and 2D Design students showcase a variety of artworks using various materials. The students create a sustained investigation portfolio consisting of a cohesive body of work that explores inquiry through an in-depth study of materials, processes, and ideas. 

Their individualized questions helped the students focus on experimentation and research through various techniques, symbolism, and materials.

Some of their inquiries:

How can I demonstrate the effects of growing up in a home with high expectations?

How can I show the horror of nightmares through stylization?

How can I convey a personal message using sticker art?

How can I represent the queer experience, and the emotions that followed, through my artwork?

How can I represent the perspective of youth found in color?

How does America's societal standards affect my self image within my Mexican Culture?
