AP PORTFOLIO - 2 Parts
All students must complete a portfolio of 15 or more artworks to be submitted to the teacher. In addition, students may submit this portfolio to the College Board in May. A score of 3, 4, or 5 is considered “passing” and the student will gain college credit in Visual Art or Humanities at many colleges and universities. See the AP Central website for more information: http://www.apcentral.collegeboard.com
The work required in the portfolio will fall into these two categories:
1 – SELECTED WORKS-(QUALITY): consisting of 5 original artworks. These can be from the Sustained Investigation section, from AP Art class projects, and/or from any artwork you have ever created.
Five physical works or high-quality printed reproductions of physical works that each demonstrate synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas using 2-D art and design skills
2020-21 Portfolio - All works uploaded digitally. No physical works will be mailed.
2 – SUSTAINED INVESTIGATION-(CONCENTRATION):
focusing on an in-depth exploration of a particular idea or way of working - 15 works
15 digital images of works of art and process documentation that demonstrate sustained investigation through practice, experimentation, and revision.
*Must show synthesis of MATERIALS, IDEAS, AND PROCESSES
