Students gain a deeper understanding of visual principles, material techniques, and the synthesis of form, technique, and content. Significant time is required outside of class. AP applicants submit two portfolios: a Selected Works portfolio, which consists of five of the finest artworks, and a Sustained Investigation portfolio, which consists of 15 carefully developed artworks that answer a specific inquiry question. College credit may be awarded for qualifying AP Studio Art scores. AP course students are encouraged to take the AP examination. Fees: $35 materials fee

Work Load: Students will be working independently and group critiquing weekly. This course requires at least 5 - 10 hours per week of out of school time to complete the course successfully.

Why You Might Be Interested In The Class: In this AP course, students create a portfolio, receive feedback, and then have the summer to incorporate what they've learned into another portfolio that colleges can accept.
