Note: For the 2019-2020 school year, CollegeBoard, the organization that administers the Advanced Placement (AP) Program, debuted a major revision of their AP Art Portfolio Requirements. For this reason, the requirements and expectations for AP Drawing differ significantly from the AP 2D Design portfolio rubric employed in 2018-2019 (see ARTS 113: Introduction to 2D Design) and explains differences noted between them.

​

The focus of the AP Drawing portfolio included here explores "the use of mark-making, line, surface, space, light and shade, and composition through a sustained investigation of materials, process, and ideas through practice, experimentation, and revision." The portfolio required 15 digital images, however, this condition was decreased to 9 in response to the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. Additional documentation explained the processs, responded to prompts, provided information about each subject to provide information about the subject and how each piece guided my exploration of advanced drawing techniques.

​

A key question I sought to answer through my investigation was: What if it was real? "It" refers to an imaginary land called Rhykör which serves as the setting for my oldest brother's latest writing endeavor. Through this sustained investigation, I sought to explore the multifaceted features of this fictional world. From landscapes and buildings to people and creatures, I concluded that reality is sometimes in the eye of the beholder.
