A.P. Art- The AP program in studio art is intended for the highly motivated students who are seriously interested in the study of art. Students are made aware the AP work involves significantly more commitment and accomplishment than a typical high school course and the program is not for the casually interested. It is strongly suggested that AP students should have completed 3 of the 4 studio options prior to this commitment.(Full Year)
