AP Studio Art Digital Submission
|
|
| |
The AP Studio Art Exam consists of two components:
- Digital images and commentary uploaded by students and submitted to AP by the AP Coordinator, via the AP Studio Art Digital Submission Web application
- Physical portfolios: the Quality section (five actual artworks) for Drawing and 2-D Design portfolios, assembled and mailed to the AP Program
- Note: The 3-D Design portfolio has no physical component and is submitted entirely online.
The Digital Submission Web application will become available in mid to late January. In the meantime, you should be working with your students to capture digital images of their artworks that adhere to the image recommendations and requirements outlined below.
Detailed instructions about using the Studio Art Digital Submission Web application will be available on this page later in the fall.
Technical Requirements and Recommendations
Coordinators, students, and teachers will need access to a computer with an Internet connection to access the Digital Submission Web application. In addition, students or their teacher(s) will need access to a digital camera to capture images of their artworks.
To effectively access the AP Studio Art Digital Submission Web application, schools and students will be required to use the recommended operating systems and browsers. Users will not be restricted to specific hardware configurations; however, it should be noted that slower response times may result from using older computer hardware.
Software Requirements:
Operating System (one of the following):
- Windows XP Home or Professional
- Windows Vista Home, Business, Premium, or Ultimate
- Mac OS 10.4 or higher
Web Browser (one of the following):
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0
- Firefox 2.0 or 3.0
- Safari 2.0 or 3.0
Requirements and Recommendations for Students' Digital Images:
All images must be submitted in JPEG format (file name extension .jpg) and RGB color mode. We recommend using files that are 72 pixels-per-inch (ppi) because a higher resolution does not add clarity when viewing images on a computer screen.
Recommended image sizes:
Landscape orientation:
- Recommended maximum size: 780 x 530 pixels (10.83 x 7.36 inches)
- Recommended minimum size: 480 x 480 pixels (6.67 x 6.67 inches)
Portrait orientation:
- Recommended maximum size: 530 x 780 pixels (7.36 x 10.83 inches)
- Recommended minimum size: 480 x 480 pixels (6.67 x 6.67 inches)
Note: The image sizes above are recommendations. Students' image sizes may be different.
Maximum file size: Files cannot exceed 3.0 MB per image. (Students' image files will likely be considerably smaller than that.)
Free Disk Space:
- Drawing and 2-D Design Portfolio: Based on the maximum file size of 3.0 MB and a total of 24 digital images per portfolio, each student would need a maximum of 72 MB of free disk space per portfolio.
- 3-D Design Portfolio: Based on the maximum file size of 3.0 MB and a total of 38 digital images, each student would need a maximum of 114 MB of free disk space.
