back in my teaching days, the high school where i taught was really small, like 150 students small. though at best 1\/10th<\/sup> the size of the other public high schools in the county, my school had an award-winning art program. our art teacher was an accomplished artist in her own right, and she brought that passion to every lesson. her students produced amazing work. every semester a student\u2019s art was on display in a local museum, or another student won a substantial scholarship in an art contest.<\/p>\n

but here\u2019s the thing, something you might not have suspected. my school didn\u2019t offer ap studio art. why do i bring this up, especially in an article about ap studio art? well, i want to let all the artists reading this know that even if your school doesn’t offer ap studio art, there\u2019s no reason to fret. great art programs come in all shapes and sizes. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

but if your school does offer ap studio art drawing, ap studio art 2d design, and\/or ap studio art 3d design, you are likely wondering which course is best for you. never fear, mr. b is here to help you make an educated choice based on your artistic strengths and interests.<\/p>\n

before we talk about the individual courses, there’s something important that applies to all three. no matter which ap studio art course you take, the portfolio you create throughout the year is the basis for your ap score. that’s right; there’s no exam. your portfolio items fall under three broad categories: quality, concentration, and breadth. here are the basic questions ap studio art graders ask themselves when reviewing art from each category:<\/p>\n

quality<\/strong>: is the student’s artwork actually ‘good’?<\/p>\n

concentration: <\/strong>how does the student explore a single idea or subject through multiple pieces of his or her art?<\/p>\n

breadth: <\/strong>can the student apply different artistic skills when creating art?<\/p>\n
