AP Art and Design 3-D Portfolio (Ceramics)

Designed to build on previous coursework in ceramics, students will focus on sophisticated hand building and wheel throwing techniques along with advanced problem solving. Students will be provided the opportunity of a deep-dive into the consideration of how materials, processes, and ideas can be used to make work that involves space and form. Through the exploration of a sustained investigation of materials and processes, students will further develop their artistic voice.

The AP Art & Design portfolio exam contains two sections. The Sustained Investigation section requires an inquiry-guided investigation through practice, experimentation, and revision. For the Selected Works section, work is expected to demonstrate skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas. Both sections of the portfolio require articulation of ideas through writing and documentation of process.
