AP Art Studio and College Credit
On average over 90% of students recieve a 3 or better on their portfolio review.
What better way to get a head start at a college or University education than earning credit for them while you are still in high school. Especially now that the state of Illinois has passed a law requiring state colleges and universities to accept AP credit of a 3 or higher. By taking an Advanced Placement Art course you are filling an elective requirement for Palatine High School and earning an elective/art credit for your future at a college or University.

PREREQUISITE: Portfolio review by the Art Department
These independent study courses give advanced art students the opportunity to develop an Advanced Placement Art Portfolio. The focus of these courses is on two sections graded by the College Boards: Quality and Concentration. Students will select works that excel in concept, composition, and execution from their “body of work” or portfolio. Students will also organize a series of works around a compelling visual concept.
