Note: If you are a rising junior wanting to take AP Studio Art and you have NOT yet taken Advanced Studio Art, it is likely that I will recommend taking Advanced Studio Art next year, as you will be more successful in AP Studio Art as a senior that way. If your portfolio of artwork is mostly fan art and redraws, it is likely that I will recommend that you take Beginning Studio Art, because that is the class in which there is the most support for idea/concept development.
