Course Description
The AP Studio Art portfolios are designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art. AP Studio Art is not based on a written examination; instead, students submit portfolios for evaluation at the end of the school year. Successful portfolios may earn college credit, depending on the score awarded, and the policies of the college that the student chooses to attend.
Students will assemble a body of artwork that demonstrates a high level of quality and growth over time of content, technique and process. Students will develop mastery in concept, composition and execution. Work will be required outside of class time, including homework and after school hours.

Section I-QUALITY, Section II-CONCENTRATION, and Section III-BREADTH
“The Drawing Portfolio is intended to address a very broad interpretation of drawing issues and media. Line quality, light and shade, rendering of form, composition, surface manipulation, the illusion of depth and mark-making are drawing issues that can be addressed through a variety of means, which could include painting, printmaking, mixed media, etc. Abstract, observational, and invented works may demonstrate drawing competence. The range of marks used to make drawings, the arrangement of those marks, and the materials used to make the marks are endless. Any work submitted in the Drawing Portfolio that incorporates digital or photographic processes must address drawing issues such as those listed previously. There is no preferred (or unacceptable) style or content."
