Portfolio Requirements
A brief description of the Drawing Portfolio follows below. Complete descriptions of the portfolios can be found in the Course Description for AP Studio Art and on the back of the 2003-04 AP Studio Art Poster.
Posters are automatically mailed to schools that offered AP Studio Art the previous year. Additional posters can be ordered from the College Board's online store for $3 each. Schools offering AP Studio Art for the first time will be given the opportunity to order 10 free posters.

You can see examples of Studio Art Portfolios, as well as read the Frequently Asked Questions, by going to the links in "More" below.
The Drawing Portfolio is designed to address a very broad interpretation of drawing issues and media. Light and shade, line quality, rendering of form, composition, surface manipulation, and illusion of depth are drawing issues that can be addressed through a variety of means, which could include painting, printmaking, mixed media, etc. Abstract, observational, and inventive works may demonstrate drawing competence. The range of marks used to make drawings, the arrangement of those marks, and the materials used to make the marks are endless.
Photography, videotapes, digital imaging, photocopies of work, and three-dimensional work may NOT be submitted for the Drawing Portfolio.
Students' work (in either traditional or technologically manipulated media) that makes use of photographs, published images, and/or other artists' works or computer software must show development beyond duplication. This development may be demonstrated through the manipulation of the material(s), formal qualities, design, and/or concept of the original work.
