This is a year-long course designed for Juniors and Seniors who are seriously interested in the visual arts. The student will work in the classroom for at least one trimester and then continue to work independently throughout the year to submit a portfolio for evaluation at the end of the school year. The AP Program offers three portfolios, to be selected by the student: Drawing, 2-D Design, and 3-D Design. The portfolios share a basic, three section structure, which requires the student to show a fundamental competence and range of understanding in visual art concepts and methods.
