Wesley Chapel High School – Advanced Placement 3-D Art & Design

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The AP Art and Design course framework is composed of course skills, big ideas, essential questions and enduring understandings, learning objectives, and essential knowledge. AP Art and Design skill categories delineate overarching understandings central to the study and practice of art and design. Each of the three skill categories consists of skills that encompass foundational to advanced learning over the span of the course. Students need to develop, practice, and apply these skills in a variety of contexts. The framework for the AP Art and Design courses is made up of three big ideas. As always, you have the flexibility to organize the course content as you like. - Big Idea 1: Investigate materials, processes, and ideas. - Big Idea 2: Make art and design. - Big Idea 3: Present art and design.
