Advanced Placement (AP) 2D Art and Design

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) 2D Art and Design:  

The AP 2-D Design course is designed for students who are extremely serious in pursuing art.  Students submit portfolios for evaluation rather than taking a written exam.  2D Art & Design Portfolio Exam contains two sections. The Selected Works (5 physical works) section requires students to demonstrate skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas. The Sustained Investigation (15 digital images) section requires students to conduct a sustained investigation based on questions, through practice, experimentation, and revision. Both sections of the portfolio require students to articulate information about their work. Work must be completely unique creations by the student.
