AP Studio Art is a one-credit course intended for the serious 12th grade art student who is highly self-motivated and committed to building a superior portfolio. The course is time-demanding and based on quality, concentration of a particular mode of work, and breadth of experience. Students will submit their portfolios for evaluation to The College Board enabling them to qualify for college credit in studio art. Students must choose to submit either a 2D, 3D, or Drawing Portfolio. In order to qualify for entrance into the AP, students must maintain a minimum 92 average in their junior year, and undergo a Department Portfolio review. It is strongly recommended that entrants pursue guided work during the summer of their junior year, in order to prepare for the AP. Completion of a summer assignment is required for all students.

Creative Thinking

The following attitudes and activities seem to be necessary for creative thinking, and have been observed in all truly creative people regardless of profession.

  • Training and practice of right brain functions
  • Suspension of judgment; making disconnected jumps in thinking
  • Openness to new stimuli, new ideas, new attitudes, new approaches
  • Willingness to take risks; making "leaps of faith", lessening inhibitions
  • Freedom in subjective thinking; expression of emotions and personal realities
  • Intuitiveness, "playing hunches" to generate spontaneous ideas
  • Freedom to make outlandish responses; rejecting fear of being "wrong" or unconventional
  • Rejecting destructive criticism, prejudices, indiscriminate praise
  • A childlike attitude of creative play; tinkering with ideas, materials, structures, a "fun" attitude toward experimentation
  • Freedom to fantasize, unconventional imagining
  • Divergent thinking: simultaneous processing of ideas, fluency of ideas
  • Acceptance of non-ordinary realities, contradictions; ability to tolerate and manipulate puzzles, ambiguities
