<p>I didn't sign up for the AP studio art course at my school because I didn't know what exactly it was. However, I just read that you can do a portfolio of all photographs. Is this true? I am a really good photographer and have been into photography for my whole life. I would really like to submit a photograph portfolio but is it true that you can rely exclusively on photographs and get a 5 on the AP Studio Art 2d?</p>
<p>Are my threads less interesting than other threads or something??</p>
<p>Yes, my daughter is taking AP Studio Art next year and will doing photography. If you go to the collegeboard website and look uo Studio Art, there is plenty of information on it.</p>
<p>There’s one section called Breadth, which is where you’re supposed to show variety. This may mean variety in subjects and not necessarily medium, but I’d still worry about sticking exclusively to photography. It’s okay if it’s mostly photography, but I wouldn’t say all. (I haven’t taken 2-D Design yet, though, so I’m not sure; I will be next year. I’m facing almost the same problem–I’m good at photoshop and want to know what ratio I should aim with digitally generation images vs. drawings and pictures.) Try asking the AP Art teacher at your school? Also, where did you read that you could have a portfolio of all photographs?</p>
<p>To answer your other question, I think most AP students around here are AP students in the scholarly form, and your question is rather specific anyway; also, most of the time in between your first and second posts are while everyone was sleeping or at school.</p>
<p>I suppose it’s true. When kids slack off in our AP art class and fail to produce enough works near the submission deadline, our teacher just makes them submit a 2D Design portfolio with a bunch of photographs. That said, if you take it seriously, it’s a bit more than just point and shoot photography. Lots of times you’ll alter lighting/textures in Photoshop (actually most people do a lot more) or incorporate it into other mixed media pieces. Really, it’s about being able to successfully digitally render your photographs to demonstrate elements/principles of design (compositional models, color schemes, lighting, mood, etc.)</p>
<p>^This is what I meant to say earlier but somehow couldn’t; even if you submit all photographs you’ll probably end up just incorporating textures into them, etc. to create a full-blown composition. A lot more stock photos are needed than one would think. Then again, it’s not always true, such as the [person</a> who got a 6 in this case](<a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board). It depends; it just has to have the right balance of complexity and all that.</p>
<p>*typo in my previous post: I meant “digitally generated”, not “digitally generation”.</p>
<p>Yes, I know that photo editing will be part of it. I am perhaps even better at Photoshop than photography. I am passionate about both. However, I am confused; can you actually make purely DIGITALLY GENERATED images??</p>
<p>I meant taking a photo (or photos) and manipulating it/them so heavily that it doesn’t even look like the original photo(s) anymore, as opposed to not using a camera/computer to create art; sorry for the unclear definitions.
That having been said, I somehow assumed in your original post you meant raw photos, so I was thrown off at first.
As for a direct answer to the question now, I’m not sure at all, but I’d love to know the answer as well.</p>
<p>Yes, the portfolio can be entirely digital. It’s been done before and people have received high scores.</p>
<p>you’ll probably get marked down in the breadth section if you submit exclusively photographs. i only used photographs in my portfolio to fill space since i didn’t want to make any more digital pieces (i still got a 5 though).</p>
