Follows College Board curriculum that parallels college level visual arts courses.
The AP 2-D Art and Design, AP 3-D Art and Design, and AP Drawing courses are
designed specifically for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art and wish to develop mastery in concept, composition, and execution of their ideas. AP Art and Design is not based on a written exam, but instead a portfolio the student submits for evaluation in early May. A student’s portfolio should demonstrate the journey of the student as they experience a variety of concepts, techniques, mediums, and approaches.
The portfolio showcases the student’s ability, and their versatility with specific techniques, problem solving, and ideation. Students also develop a body of work for the Selected Works section of the portfolio that investigates an idea of personal interest to them.
