FINAL ASSIGNMENT: CURATE AND SUBMIT YOUR AP PORTFOLIO

See below for information on how to compile and submit your AP 2D Design Portfolio to the College Board. The deadline to having your portfolio ready is Monday, May 2nd. Don't hesitate to email me if you have ANY questions. I am here to help you get through this. You can do it!

CURATE

AP Photo,
​Follow these instructions to submit your AP Portfolios by MAY 2nd. This is the day we will prep your physical portfolios to mail to the College Board. You must have your 5 selected works printed and ready to be matted by Monday, April 25th. We will be matting your pieces that week.
​First, you will need to curate your portfolio of images for submission. 
Your portfolio will consist of 20 images total, 15 for Sustained Investigation and 5 for selected works. Remember when selecting your body of work, you can include images from last year (Photo II), as well.
  1. SUSTAINED INVESTIGATION has 2 parts: Images and Written Evidence. For images, you will choose 15 images that demonstrate:
    - sustained investigation through practice, experimentation, and revision.
    - sustained investigation of materials, processes, and ideas
    - synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas
    - 2-D skills
    Select cohesive images that relate to you central theme/idea/question, just like you did when compiling your ISAS portfolio.
    When you upload these images to the AP website, keep in mind that you'll need to indicate a width and height. Use the image size that you print your final images at (18x12, 21x14, 10x15, etc.)
    For Written Evidence, you will include written responses that relate directly to your work. The prompts are:
    - Identify the questions that guided your sustained investigation.
    - Describe how your sustained investigation shows evidence of practice, experimentation, and revision guided by your question(s).
    Think about the curiosity or inquiry that made you want to create your photographs. What sort of questions guided you? These can be questions you asked yourself based on your own research, inspiration, or feedback you received in class.
  2. SELECTED WORKS also has 2 parts: Images and Written Evidence. For images, you will choose 5 photographs that demonstrate: 
    -    skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas
    -These will be high quality photographs with written responses identifying the materials, processes, and ideas you used. Your photographs may come from the Sustained Investigation section, but they do not have to.

  3. IMAGE SPECS
    All images should be:
    -JPEG
    -72 ppi
    -Adobe RGB
    -There are no minimum pixel dimensions listed for you to use, so I would choose a pixel dimension of 2000 pixels on the longest edge.
