Brandon High School – AP 2-D Art & Design

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

College Board's Advanced Placement Program (AP) enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies - with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both - while still in high school. Students create a portfolio of work to demonstrate inquiry through an art and design development of materials, processes, and ideas over the course of a year. Portfolios include works of art and design, process documentation, and written information about the work presented. In May, students submit portfolios for evaluation based on specific criteria, which include skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas and sustained investigation through practice, experimentation, and revision, guided by questions. Students can work with any materials, processes, and ideas. Graphic design, digital imaging, photography, collage, fabric design, weaving, fashion design, illustration, painting, and printmaking are among the possibilities for submission. Still images for videos or film are accepted. Composite images may be submitted.
