Course Description For AP 3D Art & Design

AP 3-D Art and Design is a college-level Advanced Placement art course that helps students explore creative ideas through three-dimensional design. Students work with materials, processes, and techniques such as sculpture, ceramics, architectural models, installation, and mixed media. In addition, they explore key design ideas such as form, space, structure, balance, and scale. Students also experiment, revise their work, and explain their creative choices. As a result, they develop a strong portfolio that shows their skills, ideas, and artistic growth. Overall, the course prepares students for the AP 3-D Art and Design portfolio submission and future studies in art, design, architecture, and related creative fields.
