take AP Art Studio test without AP Class?

<p>Is this possible for me? I am in a high school that is being affected by the budget cut and there is not very many AP classes for me to take. Though, I am finding ways to study on my own in most of the subjects. And I really want to take AP Art Studio, but unlike other tests this, requires to turn in a portfolio! </p>

<p>I was thinking: There is a regular art class in my school and if I do the same quality art in that class, can I turn in my portfolio independently? (that's kinda like "taking" an AP art class right?)</p>

<p>Please let me know if this is possible.
(I'd love to get feedback from people with personal experience too)</p>

<p>Thanks a whole bunch !</p>

<p>yes, you can turn in a portfolio w/o the class so long as you meet the requirements for the # of pieces and have slides/or photos. I took AP studio art drawing last year. Am taking 2D design this year. The one thing about AP studio art is that there is a minimum of i think 22 pieces (24 w/o closeups). So it really depends on how much time you have. When I took a regular art class, we only did a piece about every three weeks. w/ AP, unless you have all your breaths done (if u have 12 pieces from prior drawing classes, etc.) you are looking at a picture or drawing every one and a half weeks or so. I think that if you are planning to individually take the AP test, you’d probably have to do some out of class work. If u have the time, go for it.</p>

<p>okay thanks! </p>

<p>But how/where would i get a porfolio to turn in, since my school doesn’t have an AP art teacher. ?</p>
