We offer two different AP Art Portfolios at TJ: Drawing and 2-D Design. Both portfolios require students to create a cohesive body of work, called a "Sustained Investigation", which explores one theme in depth.

AP Art: Drawing Portfolio

AP Art: 2-D Design Portfolio

Despite the name "Drawing", this portfolio is not only for students who draw! The Drawing Portfolio is for students who focus on mark-making and spatial issues in their artwork. Many different types of media can be entered into the AP Art Drawing Portfolio such as: graphite, colored pencil, charcoal, pastel, pen & ink, acrylic painting, digital painting, watercolor, mixed media, and printmaking.
