Passionate students looking to further their pursuits in advanced art classes are encouraged to enroll in our AP Studio Art program beginning with Pre-AP Art their junior year. During Pre-AP Art, students complete the first half of the AP Studio Art Exam as they prepare pieces in their chosen portfolio area: Photography, 2D Design, Sculpture, Ceramics or Jewelry Design that explore concepts including Community, Identity, Social Justice and Metaphors in Art. Senior year, students enter AP Art in order to complete the second half of the AP Studio Art exam where they each design their own investigation and write essential questions that will guide their artwork as they develop a portfolio that can be viewed as a visual essay and submit both parts to the AP Studio Art exam to earn college credit.
