    Assessment

    Portfolio and Exhibition

    AP 2-D Design is an advanced course for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of Art.  The course enables highly motivated students to do college level work.

    AP 2-D Design is not based on a written examination.  Instead candidates submit a portfolio of 20 works for evaluation in May.  The portfolio is based on a 2 section structure which requires the student to show a fundamental mastery (5 works) and a thematic exploration (15) that include works in process and development.
