<p>Is this possible? I can't draw, at all, but I love photography and I've been told that I'm good at it (I have no idea though). Could I just make a really awesome photographic portfolio instead of drawing and doing other kinds of media? By the way, if I can do this, I will be doing self-study. My school doesn't offer AP Studio Art. Thanks, and if you're interested, check out my work at Flickr:</a> Photos from Josh McElwee Photography</p>

<p>there are drawing portfolios (includes painting and stuff) 2d portfolios (drawing computer manipulation photo stuff) and 3d portfolios
if you do photo make sure that your portfolio is all photo if possible
everyone I know who did a mixed portfolio felt that it lowered their score and made them appear unfocused. Untrue of course but still....</p>
<p>I think College Board lists that photography falls under 2D. I'm sure it's possible to have a photo portfolio?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>In your breadth section, you have to use a variety of media. You can use all photography for your CONCENTRATION, but you can't just depend on photography and expect to get a high AP score</p>
<p>Um
yeah no
I just finished taking the class last ...week now?
you can definitely do an all photography portfolio and as I mentioned before it would NOT be seen as a "depending", it would display focus</p>
<p>Either way you always want to submit your best work within the confines of the portfolio. Since you're doing photo you have a 2D portfolio so you really can submit pretty much anything. You can even do "3D" like things as long as they they are not meant to be viewed by walking around. Be careful with that obviously.
ex: my friend did a lot of clay things with depth but a flat back. OK
ex: my fake mounted deer head, with a flat neck for mounting.... Not so ok</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>Um, okay. In our class for the Breadth section, our teacher constantly reminds us that we must use a variety of media...because it's BREADTH</p>
<p>Everything in one media /= breadth</p>
<p>If you can explore a wide variety of techniques and subjects through your photography, you should be okay for the breadth section. It's all what you make of it.</p>
<p>Hi,
I teach AP Studio Art 2-D Design at Mercer Island High School in Washington state and my students have used photography exclusively for the past five years. More than half of my students receive 4 or 5 on the AP Portfolio Exam and only 2 students in the past five years have not achieved a passing mark of 3 or better. </p>
<p>The main thing to remember in breadth (and concentration) is that they are looking for good 2-d design basics and in the breadth section they need to see a connection to art history or artists and elements/principles. </p>
<p>Good Luck!

<p>Yea, I'm finishing up AP Studio Art 2D this week with an all photography/digital imagery portfolio. Last year alot of people only used photography and everyone received passing scores.</p>
<p>The key for the breadth section is NOT using a variety of mediums, it is to make sure that you show variety in your use of the elements of design.</p>
