AP art 2020
congratulations!
These 7 talented BMHS AP art and design students scored either a four or a five on their AP portfolio. 2020 was a particularly difficult year as AP revamped the portfolio requirements, scoring the students on their writings about their work as well as their art, and it was finished at home during a pandemic! These students had so much creativity, intelligence and grit! They deserved their top scores.
