Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School – AP 2D Art and Design (Drawing/Painting or Printmaking)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

AP is a college-level art course that addresses a variety of advanced concepts in drawing, painting, and 2D art principles of design. Students create a body of work that demonstrates an in–depth investigation of a particular visual theme of their choice. Included in this investigation will be sketchbook work that shows evidence of idea development, practice, and experimentation, and students will create a series of resolved, finished artworks. Students select the materials of their choice; emphasis is on personal voice and style. Students will also compose an artist statement explaining their investigation topic and creative process. Portfolios produced in this course may be submitted to the College Board for AP evaluation and potential college credit. Choosing to complete an AP portfolio requires additional independent time outside of class.
