#AP Art & Design: Your Ultimate Study Guide 🎨

Hey there, future AP Art superstar! 👋 This guide is designed to be your go-to resource for acing the AP Art & Design exam. Let's break down everything you need to know, keep it engaging, and make sure you feel totally confident for test day!

#What is an AP Art Portfolio?

Think of your portfolio as your visual resume. It's a collection of your best work that showcases your style, skills, and artistic journey. For AP Art, your portfolio is your exam! You're building it throughout the year, so every piece counts. Let's make it amazing!

#Portfolio Similarities

All AP Art portfolios (2D, 3D, and Drawing) share some core elements:

• Sustained Investigation (SI): This is your deep dive into a topic, showing your process, experimentation, and growth. 💡
• Selected Works (SW): These are your 5 best pieces, the cream of the crop!
• Documentation: You need to show your ideas, process, revisions, and materials. Document as you go; it's way easier than trying to remember everything later!

#Portfolio Differences

• 2D & Drawing: Primarily "flat" works with height and width. Think paintings, drawings, collages, etc.
• 3D: Works that have depth and interact with the space around them. This includes sculptures, installations, and more. 🌟
