ADVANCE PLACEMENT STUDIO ART (Three Dimensional, Two Dimensional or Drawing Portfolios)
The Advanced Placement Studio Art course seeks to provide students with college level visual art experiences leading to the completion of a portfolio of work for evaluation. The portfolio is a vehicle through which students can demonstrate their ability to deal with the fundamental concerns of the visual arts and earn credit and/or advanced placement at the college level. AP Studio Art is not based on a written examination. The Advanced Placement Studio Art course is an extension of Visual Art 30. The mark for Visual Art 30 that will be submitted to Saskatchewan Learning will be derived from the student’s course work.
The AP Studio Art course addresses three major concerns that are constants in the teaching of Art: 1) a sense of quality in a student’s work; 2) the student’s concentration on a particular visual interest or problem; 3) the student’s need for breadth of experience in the formal, technical and expressive means of the artist.

It is recommended that students who are interested in AP Studio Art take at least one Visual Art class before attempting AP Studio Art. It is also recommended that students begin to explore the AP Studio Art option in Grade 10 and Grade 11. Speak with your Visual Arts teacher about this course. Students who pursue AP Studio Art must be prepared to work independently and to put in many additional hours beyond class time in order to complete the quality portfolio that is expected in a college level course.
