Pinellas Park High School – Advanced Placement Studio 2D and 3D

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course is designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art. AP Studio Art is not based on a written exam; instead, students submit portfolios for evaluation at the end of the school year. The program consists of three portfolios – 2-D Design, 3-D Design and Drawing – corresponding to common college foundation courses. Instruction will address three major concerns that are constants in the teaching of art: (1) the student’s ability to recognize quality in her/his work; (2) the student’s concentration on a sustained investigation of a particular visual interest or problem; and (3) a range of approaches to the formal, technical and expressive means of the artist.
