what. is. art. portfolio.
Art Portfolio AP is an advanced placement course for the talented and industrious student.
Curriculum content revolves around research and study in any art-related area which fulfills the
student's own interest. Students will apply techniques learned in the prerequisite courses. The course
objective will be to develop an art portfolio of student work to enable the student to be accepted into
an art school of his/her choice. Emphasis will be on developing knowledge and understanding of art
history and art criticism.
A portfolio is required by most universities and art schools that offer professional programs leading
to a B.F.A. degree. The student's art portfolio is reviewed by university faculty to determine
admission into the School of Art and to bestow art scholarships. Art Portfolio is designed to be taken
as the student's last high school art course. The focus will be the preparation of a suitable portfolio
which will contain ten to fifteen examples of the student's best original work. Each student will be
required to exhibit examples of work created during this class in a Senior Exhibition.
