The AP Studio Art 2-D Design course is designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art and wish to develop mastery in the concept, composition, and execution of their ideas. AP Studio Art is not based on a written exam; instead, students submit portfolios of their collected artwork for evaluation to the College Board Advanced Placement Program in early May. Portfolios that pass the evaluation may earn college credit. In building the portfolio, students experience a variety of concepts, techniques, and approaches designed to help them demonstrate their abilities as well as their versatility with techniques, problem solving, and ideation.

Students are encouraged to become independent thinkers who will contribute inventively and critically to their culture through the making of art. This course is a-g approved.
