Studio Art Digital Submission Demo

Studio Art portfolio exams (Drawing, 2-D and 3-D) are administered through the AP Studio Art Digital Submission Application. AP Coordinators, AP Studio Art teachers, and students use this web application to submit portfolios to the AP Program.

The following demo provides a step-by-step overview of the digital submission of these materials for coordinators and teachers. You’ll learn how to:

  • Access the web application
  • View student portfolios
  • Designate fee reductions and section numbers for portfolios
  • Submit digital portfolios to the AP Program for scoring
  • Student instructions can be found on the Student AP Studio Art Demo.

Portfolio Requirements

Important: The deadline for you to submit digital portfolios to the AP Program is 8 p.m. ET on May 6, 2017. Teachers should have their students’ digital portfolios forwarded to you well in advance of this date.

The portfolios consist of the following components, detailed in the chart below:

  1. Digital images and commentary for the Range of Approaches and Sustained Investigation sections, uploaded by students and submitted to AP by the AP coordinator.
  2. A portfolio of five actual works for the Selected Works section
    • 2-D Design and Drawing require a physical portfolio, assembled and mailed to the AP Program. Instructions for submitting these portfolios can be found in the AP Coordinator’s Manual (.pdf/5.61MB) and the AP Studio Art Portfolio Worksheets (.pdf/95.5KB).
    • The 3-D Design portfolio has no physical component; images of the works are submitted through the Digital Submissions Web application.
