AP Art and Design

   In AP Art and Design, students are able to craft individual art portfolios centered around a specific theme. Students must meet the requirements of the AP portfolio, including an explanation of the elements in their art. 

    “It’s been a lot of fun getting to explore different themes for the portfolio, especially for my theme about substance abuse,”  stated junior Oralee Tran. “There’s a lot of room for creativity, and drawing what you’re passionate about. Since it’s a really small class, you get to become close with everyone in your class. We present a drawing every two weeks, and I have really gotten to know everyone else through their art and unique art styles.”

   AP Art students is a very unique class, as students polish their AP portfolios in class for the entire year.

   “I would say the class is very tight-knit and uplifting,” Tran said. “I think we have all developed creative thinking a lot more. For example, something I did was take lyrics from songs about addiction, and illustrate those specific lyrics in my pieces.”
