The Studio Art Portfolio
The Advanced Placement Program in Studio Art: 3-D Design is a performance-based visual exam. Each student develops and submits a portfolio that serves as a direct demonstration of achievement. The term "3-D Design" is used very broadly; a wide range of work can fit into this portfolio. Logically, work that is submitted for this portofolio wll explore depth and space -- that is, the issues of working in three dimensions. Content, style, and process are completely open. But whatever direction the student chooses, the work will address such issues as mass, volume, form. Any three-dimensional medium may be used for this portfolio.
Because of the physical characteristics of work in 3-D Design, all three sections of this portfolio are submitted in slide form. Although slides are less direct than looking at the work itself, documenting the work in this way means that students are free to work as large as they like and with whatever materials they like.
The portfolio they are required to produce for the Studio Art: 3-D is a performance-based visual exam. Each portfolio requires submissions in three distinct sections.
Quality
The Quality section promotes the development of a sense of excellence in art. For this section, students submit five works that best demonstrate excellence. Each work is presented by two slides showing different views, for a total of 10 slides. There are no preconceptions about what the work will look like-it may have been created quickly or over a long period of time; it may be derived from observation, imagination, or a combination. The five works chosen for the Quality section may come from the student's Concentration section and/or Breadth section, but they don't have to. They may be a group of related works, unrelated works, or a combination of related and unrelated works.

Concentration
The Concentration section shows the student's in-depth exploration of a particular design concern. It is presented as 12 slides, some of which may be second views or details of works. The emphasis is on a coherent idea and development of an idea through a body of work, in addition to the artistic success of the work.

Breadth
The Breadth section shows the range of experimentation and experience in 3-D design. It is presented as 16 slides -- two views each of eight different works. In addition to the quality of the work, this section is scored on the degree to which it actually shows a variety of approaches to 3-D design.
