College Course Equivalent 

• The AP 2-D Art and Design, AP 3-D Art and Design, and AP Drawing courses are designed to be the equivalent of a one-semester, introductory college course in 2-D Art and Design, 3-D Art and Design, and Drawing, respectively. 

Prerequisites 

• AP Art and Design courses are for all students who are interested in inquiry-based thinking and making. Although there is no prerequisite for AP Art and Design courses, prior experience learning about and making art and design supports student success in AP Art and Design. Students who have not had opportunities to take art or design classes prior to AP will likely need assistance in developing a foundational understanding of art and design materials, processes, and ideas to prepare them for success.

In this course, students will explore art fundamentals through sculptural techniques, which will include the elements of art and principles of design, basic construction, craft and design, and additional studio exercises. Students will also explore how sculpture and the arts in their world connect to their past, and to their cultures. Sculptural assignments will be completed through the process of sketching and hands-on construction.
