College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both while still in high school.
Through this AP course the student will build on past works, learn important hand skills, learn how to build a body of work through an inquiring question while documenting their progression, finally culminating in a challenging Art Portfolio that has shown practice, experimentation and revision. This will be seen through 15 Digital slides and an essay of 1200 characters. There will be also 5 physical artworks sent to AP central for assessment of quality of work.
