About the AP Portfolio (Sustained Investigation)

The AP Studio Art Sustained Investigation is a year-long development of a body of artwork based on a central theme. Students determine a conceptual point of focus and investigate it by creating works that address three main concerns: Ideas (what the artwork communicates), Materials (the physicality and significance of their medium) and Process (their engagement with materials in pursuit of their idea).

The suites of images in this online exhibition are a snapshot of each student’s larger, currently unfinished bodies of work. A midpoint in the process, this show gives students the opportunity to reflect on their trajectory. Seeing their work exhibited allows students to witness the existence of their work in the world outside of their studios and is instrumental in refining their vision for the final portfolio.
