AP Art and Design is an introductory college-level two-dimensional design course. Students refine and apply skills to ideas they develop throughout the course. 

Students create a portfolio of work to demonstrate inquiry through art and design and development of materials, processes, and ideas over the course of a year. Portfolios include works of art and design, process documentation, and written information about the work presented. In May, students submit portfolios for evaluation based on specific criteria, which include skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas and sustained investigation through practice, experimentation, and revision, guided by questions. 

AP Art and Design courses are for all students who are interested in inquiry-based thinking and making. Prior experiences learning about and making art and design and a foundational understanding of art and design materials, processes, ideas, and skills are needed for success.

Level 3 – The Advanced Placement (AP) curriculum is defined by The College Board and is designed to prepare students for The College Board AP exams. AP courses are college-level courses. Students who achieve set scores on AP exams may earn college credit.
