This course is designed for the advanced student to develop either a Drawing, 2D Design or 3D Design portfolio. All enrolled students must submit a portfolio for College Board examination in early May. The class is especially beneficial for students pursuing careers related to Art. Work submitted for examination should be of first-year university level quality. Successful portfolios could earn students college credit. Considerable time outside of class, and also during the summer will be needed in order to fulfill the substantial, portfolio requirements in one year. If summer projects are not completed, then students will need to enroll in Art 3. Art 3 students will thereby have 2 years to complete a portfolio if they enroll in A.P. the following year.
