The AP Studio Drawing Portfolio course is designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art and wish to develop mastery in the concept, composition, and execution of their ideas. AP Studio Art is not based on a written exam; instead, students submit portfolios for evaluation at the end of the school year. In building the portfolio, students experience a variety of concepts, techniques and approaches designed to help them demonstrate their abilities as well as their versatility with problem solving and bringing their ideas to fruition. Students develop a body of work for the Concentration section of the portfolio that investigates an idea of personal interest to them. The five top pieces are selected for actual presentation in the Quality section of the Drawing portfolio.
