The Advanced Placement Studio Art course is offered to students who have excelled in at least two years of high school art study and choose to commit to a rigorous investigation of art making both in and outside the classroom. Students will create a portfolio of work in one of two areas of study: Drawing, 2-D Design, and 3-D Design. Students will develop a portfolio of college-level artwork that demonstrates mastery of concept, composition, and execution by addressing the three components of the AP portfolio: Quality, Breadth, and Concentration. The Advanced Placement Studio Art course emphasizes making art as an ongoing process that involves the student in informed and critical decision-making. This course requires a significant investment of time outside of class. This body of work can be used to meet college admission portfolio requirements and will be assessed by the College Board for Advanced Placement credit in lieu of an examination
