Semester 1 & 2 (Year Long)

Course Description: The AP Art and Design program consists of three different AP Portfolio Exams--

AP 2-D Art and Design, AP 3-D Art and Design, and AP Drawing--corresponding to college and university foundations courses. Students may choose to submit any or all of the AP Portfolio Exams. Students create a portfolio of work to demonstrate inquiry through art and design and development of materials, processes, and ideas over the course of a year. Portfolios include works of art and design, process documentation, and written information about the work presented. In May, students submit portfolios for evaluation based on specific criteria, which include skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas and sustained investigation through practice, experimentation, and revision, guided by questions. Students may choose to submit any or all of the AP Portfolio Exams.

Prerequisite Course: Prior coursework in Art 1 & 2 and upper-level art electives are highly recommended. Interested students should seek instructor recommendations and/or portfolio evaluation prior to enrollment.
