<p>I have the prenotion that I can submit, in my portfolio, 12 concentration photos edited in Photoshop, 12 Breadth photos exemplifying my knowledge of elements and principles of design, and 5 quality photos.</p>
<p>The photos will be taken on a digital camera, possibly the Nikon D50.</p>
<p>My teacher, however, constantly is stressing that I won't do well because I don't have dark room photography skills. Despite the fact that I have tried to convince her otherwise, I cannot provide the proof that she wants to see.</p>
<p>Although I probably cannot convince her otherwise due to her closed-mindedness, I just want to know for sure:</p>
<p>Is it okay if my portfolio is done in ALL digital photography with Photoshop tweaks?</p>
<p>(Note: This is my teacher's first year teaching 2D)</p>
<p>OK, the AP studio exam is 24 SLIDES and 5 REAL DRAWINGS which you mail to college board.</p>
<p>Of course you make take your photos in digital. But you do know, right, that you have to make slides? Those digital photo babies have to go on a CD which you mail to a slide making company and they make you slides, 12 bucks a pop? It may be cheaper to make slides using a slide camera, but with digital, you may do corrections.</p>
<p>Now, another thing. Tweaking. Do not tweak excessively because you ought to repeat a few of your quality pieces from the slides so that they know that you're not faking it, and those drawings you send it have to look like those slides.</p>
<p>Feel free to PM or email be about the 2D exam. I took it last year and I didn't have an art teacher to tell me things.</p>
<p>You don't need dark room photos. I submitted all digital photographs last year and got a 5. And you're allowed to use Photoshop for everything, including quality. </p>
<p>Oh yeah...I can't remember the site, but I'm sure you can find some slide making company on Google that allows you to upload your images directly online to them and they mail you the slides in a few weeks. My whole art class ordered collectively so the company gave us a discount. I think I ended up paying 36 bucks for 24 slides.</p>
<p>Ednamillay, there's different subcategories for the 2D design test. You stick with one media. So it's all drawings, all photographs, or all whatever else is 2D.</p>
<p>VehementBehemoth, you said you're doing photography so your quality section should still be photos. You're supposed to just use one form of media. And yes, Quality section images have to be printed and framed or mounted (I think mounting is easier...).</p>
<p>If you're submitting a portfolio for 2D Design, it is okay to have a mixture of drawings, computer-generated/-edited/-altered images, and photographs (not the case for Drawing or 3D though). The Quality section requires you to submit actual work, but it doesn't have to be a drawing. And the submissions process is going digital for the upcoming exam, so there is no need to pay money for slides if you're using a digital camera anyway.</p>
<p>For the AP studio art 2D, you may photograph your work with a digital camera. You know, take pictures of your paintings and stuff. I would not do an entire portfolio with photographs.. I don't think that's what they're looking for.</p>
<p>I handed in one photo in my quality section, but along with 2 paintings and two drawings.</p>
<p>I don't think it says anywhere that you can't do it all in digital photography, but AP studio is supposed to excuse you from some sort of first year foundations in art, in which you usually have to learn other mediums. Think about all the people who can whip out a digital point and shoot and take a hella big amount of digital images...?</p>
<p>I'm really not all all sure how the exam work. I did a painting concentration for my concentration slides, and I did lots of different mediums for the breadth category. I didn't really have any teachers telling me what to put where, I just followed the instructions in the big packet. I got a 5 so I think you can do what I did and do well.</p>
<p>Well I dont really get what's gonig on. Do you have to submit 24 slides for all the categories? Do you mail them the slides? Or can you submit them digitally? I'm donig the exam independently, so I will need help on the format of the exam.</p>
<p>Twelve for Breadth, twelve for concentration. These are submitted digitally (AP</a> Central - Welcome to AP Central). Five actual pieces are sent in for the Quality section.</p>
<p>If you want to do all photographs I would suggest taking the photography AP Exam
It just started this year.
It doesn't say in the packet that it ask for a certain variety of mediums.
I am so scared to work on my concentration</p>
