Working on AP Portfolios (Drawing, 2D and 3D Designs Portfolios):

The final assessment for AP Studio Art Portfolios is not based on a written exam; instead, students submit portfolios for evaluation at the end of the school year. All AP portfolios are assessed on Quality in a student’s work and Sustained Investigation of materials, processes, and ideas. The student’s work should reflect these two areas of concern: quality and sustained investigation through a 15 piece body of work. Since the course is a rigorous introduction to college studio art courses, students will need to work outside the classroom, maintain a sketchbook or a journal, and participate in ongoing group and individual critiques.

AP portfolios are assessed on (1) a sense of quality in a student’s work; (2) the student’s concentration on a particular visual interest or problem; and (3) the student’s need for breadth of experience in the formal, technical and expressive means of the artist. The student’s work should reflect these three areas of concern: quality, concentration and breadth. By signing up for this AP course, students agree to submit the associated AP final portfolio.
