Object-based learning — Mimi's specialty from her museum education background — is essentially what the AP Drawing portfolio's sustained investigation asks students to do: interrogate a subject visually from multiple angles and articulate what they discover. Her Ed.M. from Harvard and B.A. in Art Hi...

As a Visual Art concentrator at Brown, Nova understands the AP Studio Art: Drawing portfolio from both the artist's and the evaluator's perspective — sustaining an investigation across pieces, demonstrating technical range, and writing artist statements that articulate intent. She tackles the breadt...

Few AP Studio Art tutors bring both a practicing artist's eye and formal academic training — Kathy holds a Bachelor's in Art from Duke and is completing a Master's in Modern and Contemporary Asian Art at Sotheby's Institute.
