AP and HONORS Art
Advanced Placement Studio Art is a college-base class designed for students who are interested in perusing an artistic field after high school. Students will develop their creative interests and concepts while composing an individual portfolio focusing on sustained investigation. Unlike traditional art classes, Advanced Placement Drawing, 2D and 3D Studio Art is based solely on the portfolio which will be completed by the end of April. The portfolio will be submitted to the AP College Board the first week of May. Student will then receive their final score after the AP College Board reviews are submitted. At University Preparatory School we have 3 sections of AP Studio Art: Drawing, 2D and 3D.
Honors Art Students are additionally working on a sustained investigation. Students will be working along side AP studio artists to develop their skills to be successful in AP art the following year.
