AP® Art & Design 2D 3D
AP® Art and Design 2D 3D will provide you with some of the tools and techniques for helping students acquire the skills needed to excel in AP® Art and Design 2D 3D. You’ll review materials, course outlines, content-related handouts, student samples, and scoring guidelines that focus on pedagogical techniques and content-specific strategies that you can use in the classroom. You’ll also learn about completing the digital activation process at the start of the school year that will help ensure that your students can register for AP® portfolio submission by the new fall deadlines.
After attending this APSI, you’ll be able to align your instruction with the goals of the AP® Art and Design course(s); identify the skills and knowledge that the portfolio will assess, and identify the tasks and materials with which students might need more preparation; design a course that meets the curricular requirements; and make equitable access a guiding principle in designing instruction.
