<p>I've never taken an art class before.
How do I convince the art teacher at my school to let me take AP Studio Art?</p>
<p>you don't.... art is so hard. Take like AP Bio or AP Calc, so much easier to get an A in it than AP Studio Art, art actually requires skill.</p>
<p>If you have past examples of artwork you can bring to your teacher, do that. Have you been doing artwork at home a lot, had schedule conflicts, requirements to finish? Mention that if it applies.</p>
<p>I know a lot of people who don't take the class but turn in a portfolio for the exam. If you don't get in, you could always try that.</p>
<p>only thing to do is show her your previous work... which you probably wouldn't have if you've never taken art before. :| either come up with something quick, or just take another AP class or (if you're really interested in art) a regular art class. but i don't think studio art is the kind of AP that just anyone can do; even for serious artists it's pretty tough.</p>
