Though at best 1\/10<sup>th<\/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<p>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&#8217;t offer AP Studio Art, there\u2019s no reason to fret. Great art programs come in all shapes and sizes. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>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<p>Before we talk about the individual courses, there&#8217;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&#8217;s right; there&#8217;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<p><strong>Quality<\/strong>: Is the student&#8217;s artwork actually &#8216;good&#8217;?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concentration: <\/strong>How does the student explore a single idea or subject through multiple pieces of his or her art?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Breadth: <\/strong>Can the student apply different artistic skills when creating art?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7878\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/files\/2016\/09\/08ba698c92498c2d5482ac12ef5a928f6babda68a68b5334cff470f3df948479.jpg\" alt=\"AP Studio Art -Magoosh\" width=\"423\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/files\/2016\/09\/08ba698c92498c2d5482ac12ef5a928f6babda68a68b5334cff470f3df948479.jpg 615w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/files\/2016\/09\/08ba698c92498c2d5482ac12ef5a928f6babda68a68b5334cff470f3df948479-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/files\/2016\/09\/08ba698c92498c2d5482ac12ef5a928f6babda68a68b5334cff470f3df948479-600x397.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you get to the end of this article and want to learn more about AP Studio Art, check out the official College Board websites for <a href=\"http:\/\/apcentral.collegeboard.com\/apc\/members\/exam\/exam_information\/2182.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AP Studio Art Drawing<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/apcentral.collegeboard.com\/apc\/members\/exam\/exam_information\/2134.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AP Studio Art 2D Design<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/apcentral.collegeboard.com\/apc\/members\/exam\/exam_information\/2135.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AP Studio Art 3D Design<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>AP Studio Art Drawing<\/h2>\n<p>Okay, let\u2019s take a look at what principles of design are important in AP Studio Art Drawing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Line quality<\/li>\n<li>Light and shade<\/li>\n<li>Rendering of form<\/li>\n<li>Composition<\/li>\n<li>Surface manipulation<\/li>\n<li>Illusion of depth<\/li>\n<li>Mark-making<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Quality<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So that AP graders can judge your Quality, you must submit five pieces in one or more media. These are actual pieces you create throughout the year, not photographs or scans. Each piece should be smaller than 18\u201d x 24\u201d to fit in the provided mailing envelope. Pieces smaller than 8\u201d x 10\u201d must be mounted before mailing.<\/p>\n<p><em>Concentration<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To judge your Concentration, AP graders want to see 12 works on a \u201cspecific visual idea.\u201d In creating the concentration section of your portfolio, you are encouraged to choose your own subject. AP suggests that you also include images that influenced your work. This gives graders a clearer view of your thought process.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike your Quality pieces, the 12 Concentration pieces must be high-quality digital scans or photographs of your art. When you submit the scans\/photographs online, you are asked to answer two questions about your concentration. These responses are not scored, but they give graders crucial information about your artistic intent.<\/p>\n<p><em>Breadth <\/em><\/p>\n<p>AP graders want to know just how far your drawing skills go. For these 12 works, you are encouraged to experiment with your technique and subject matter. These 12 works must be original, and not submitted as part of any other category.<\/p>\n<h2>AP Studio Art 2D Design<\/h2>\n<p>Besides drawing, Studio Art 2D Design goes a step further by including graphic design, photography, collage, weaving, painting, and digital imaging, among other artistic disciplines. In this course, you are asked to work with the following principles of design:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unity\/variety<\/li>\n<li>Balance<\/li>\n<li>Contrast<\/li>\n<li>Emphasis<\/li>\n<li>Rhythm<\/li>\n<li>Proportion\/scale<\/li>\n<li>Figure\/ground relationships<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The requirements for the portfolio are identical to those for AP Studio Art Drawing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_7879\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7879\" style=\"width: 491px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7879\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/files\/2016\/09\/ap_studio_piece_14_by_walkthisplank91.jpg\" alt=\"AP Studio Art -magoosh\" width=\"491\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/files\/2016\/09\/ap_studio_piece_14_by_walkthisplank91.jpg 2404w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/files\/2016\/09\/ap_studio_piece_14_by_walkthisplank91-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/files\/2016\/09\/ap_studio_piece_14_by_walkthisplank91-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/files\/2016\/09\/ap_studio_piece_14_by_walkthisplank91-600x451.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7879\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/lhsroar.wordpress.com\/roar-archive\/roar-archive0910\/features43010\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Walkthisplank91<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>AP Studio Art 3D Design<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re into sculpture, AP Studio Art 3D Design is the course for you. In this course you are asked to work in the following principles of design:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unity\/variety<\/li>\n<li>Balance<\/li>\n<li>Emphasis<\/li>\n<li>Rhythm<\/li>\n<li>Contrast<\/li>\n<li>Repetition<\/li>\n<li>Proportion\/scale<\/li>\n<li>Occupied\/unoccupied space<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The requirements for the portfolio are a bit different than for the other AP Studio Art courses.<\/p>\n<p><em>Quality<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For Quality, you submit a total of 10 images of five pieces. By having two images of each piece, AP graders can see each sculpture from two different angles.<\/p>\n<p><em>Concentration<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A total of 12 images are required, but some of these images can come from the same piece. This flexibility gives you the chance to show off either a different angle or a piece or the intricate detail of another.<\/p>\n<p><em>Breadth <\/em><\/p>\n<p>You are required to submit 16 photographs of eight three-dimensional pieces. The pieces you submit to this category cannot be used in other parts of your portfolio.<\/p>\n<h2>Grading the Portfolio<\/h2>\n<p>Any artist knows that evaluating art is subjective. One man\u2019s masterpiece is another man\u2019s doorstop. No matter which AP Studio Art course you take, it\u2019s natural to feel apprehensive at the thought of a stranger grading (and judging) your artwork. Well, I\u2019ve done the research, and I\u2019m here to tell you how the grading process works.<\/p>\n<p>AP Studio Art graders, known officially as \u2018readers,\u2019 are either AP Studio Art teachers or college professors. Everyone who becomes a reader has to go through a training program. Training involves practice grading previous years\u2019 portfolios. A Chief Reader makes the final determination on whether a new reader is skilled enough to grade your portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>The Quality section of your portfolio is graded by three readers who do not know they are evaluating the same student. Two readers evaluate the Concentration and Breadth sections of your portfolio. If the readers should award you scores that are very far apart, two more readers review your work and come to a resolution. Your final 1-5 score is an average of all the scores awarded by readers.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Like all AP exams, the College Board releases the scores for AP Studio Art in early July. If you should earn a 4 or 5, congrats. You will be able to jump into a second-semester art course during your freshmen year of college.<\/p>\n<p>If a 3 or less is in your future, don\u2019t fret. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ubTJI_UphPk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vincent van Gogh was one of the greatest painters who ever lived. Yet he went to his grave believing that he was a failure.<\/a> Remember that art (and beauty) is in the eye of the beholder. No matter what the AP score says, don\u2019t give up on your art of yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Till next time, Magooshers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AP Studio Art consists of three AP courses for artists to get a chance to earn college credit.
