Advanced Placement
The Advanced Placement (AP) Studio Art program makes it possible for highly motivated high school students to do college-level work. Students complete teacher directed assignments while also developing an individualized “concentration” that is an in-depth, personal commitment to a particular artistic concern. A strong understanding of the elements and principles of design is expected before enrolling in the class. In addition to striving to produce first-year, college-level work, the typical AP Studio Art student has the ability to keep up with a rigorous workload (both in class and at home) and utilize his or her higher-level critical thinking skills. Writing about artwork is a major component of the course. Each student is expected to submit a portfolio of work (either for the exam or for the instructor) for evaluation at the end of the school year. Please view the College Board Studio Art website http://apcentral.collegeboard.com for more information about AP Art program requirements.
