I have classes in AP 2D Art & Design Portfolio, AP Drawing Portfolio, Pre-AP Visual Arts and Art 2 Photography. Parents of students taking my AP and Pre-AP classes should encourage them to complete a portfolio for submission to College Board. Students can earn college credit if their portfolio can secure at least a 3 out of 5. All of my classes, including Art 2 Photography, must produce and complete a portfolio. This is non-negotiable, but only AP students, who register for the exam, are required to submit it in May at the end of that year. Pre-Ap Visual Arts and Photography students may challenge the test and submit theirs as well, but it is not a requirement.
