What is a concentration? (taken from the College Board website)
A concentration is a body of related works that demonstrate a student’s commitment to the thoughtful investigation of a specific visual idea . It is not a selection of a variety of works produced as solutions to class projects or a collection of works with differing intents . Students should be encouraged to explore a personal, central interest as intensively as possible; they are free to work with any idea in any medium that addresses two-dimensional design issues . The concentration should grow out of the student’s idea and demonstrate growth and discovery through a number of conceptually related works. In this section, the evaluators are interested not only in the work presented but also in visual evidence of the student’s thinking, selected method of working and development of the work over time.
