level portfolio of artwork - usually 15-25 pieces. Portfolio
assignments are designed to showcase the breadth and
growth of student skill and knowledge in art, and demonstrate
student voice and creativity through a concentration of
five or more pieces done on one subject or theme. Finished
Porfolios are eligible for college credit when the AP Studio
Art exam is taken. Portfolios are also used for entry into
art programs at the college level. The best quality pieces
from student portfolios can be entered into art shows and
competitions for awards and scholorship opportunities.
