F.A.Qs. ????????
HOW do you TAKE a studio art exam for the Advanced Placement test?
You dont actually TAKE an exam; the whole year in AP art is devoted to buildingthe AP portfolio, which is about 18-25 pieces. On exam day, students spend theallotted time to organizing slides and packaging up artwork to be sent to theCollege Board. Students enrolled in Honors submit a digital portfolio to me.
Does the AP exam cost money?Yes. Last years exam cost $82. There are funds available to students whocannot pay.
I dont want to pay. Will I still be considered an AP student?
Sort of. If you decide NOT to take the exam, you will NOT get the AP credit;it will appear on your transcripts that you took Art 3 HONORS instead of AP.Students ARE, however, expected to complete the portfolios as required by theAP course.

a CONCENTRATION (12 pieces). Forstudents taking the AP exam, portfoliosare submitted to the Collegeboarddigitally. Additionally, students takingthe exam send 5 actual artworks to theCollegeboards for review.
Im not going to an art school or evenTHINKING about studying art in college.Why bother studying art so in depth?
The Honors and AP studio course is NOTdesigned solely for students going to artschool. It is, however, designed for
ARTISTS that are willing to accept achallenge and are willing to commit totasks. Jessica Powers, 2007
