The AP Studio Art Exam is Friday, May 7th. This means that all of your work needs to be submitted to the Digital Submission Site by May 1st. This earlier deadline will allow you time to make sure all photos have been uploaded to the College Board. Last year there were many problems and the site virtually froze on the actual exam day. The site was so overwhelmed with activity during the days prior to the deadline that I want to make sure that you have plenty of time to make any necessary changes.
I will be giving you a code to set up your account at the College Board. Please read all the size requirements. You will be able to upload jpegs of your completed work. You will be able to change things prior to the deadline at anytime.
You also need to look at the scoring guidelines. Remember, will need a minimum of 18 pieces.
QUALITY: Images of 5 works that demonstrate your mastery of three dimensional design (these may come from concentration or breadth)
10 images-5 works, 2 views of each
