Ralston Valley Senior High School – AP 3-D Art and Design

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Designed for students with a serious interest in art, the AP 3D Art and Design course enables students to refine their skills and create artistic works to be submitted to the College Board for evaluation. Given the nature of the AP evaluation, the course typically emphasizes quality of work, and attention to issues in depth and space. These may include mass, volume, form, plane, light, and texture. Such elements and concepts may be articulated through additive, subtractive, and/or fabrication processes. These might include traditional sculpture, architectural models, apparel, ceramics, three-dimensional fiber arts, or metal work, among others. This type of design involves purposeful decision making about how to use the elements and principles of art in an integrative way with the entire spectrum of ideas.<br>The AP exam must be taken to remain eligible to be <br>awarded an Honors Diploma.
