This course provides students with the means to construct a college-level visual art portfolio in accordance with MSDE learner outcomes and advanced placement Studio Art standards. Students are encouraged to submit for the College Board’s Advanced Placement Studio Art examination. Students should expect some financial responsibility for advanced art materials.
