Checklist AP Art 2024
1. TWO Sample SW and TWO SI pdfs of students ho passed AP Art from previous years who are similar to your genre and style. The 4 pdfs should be on your SW and SI Weebly page up top. Or if the pdf files are too big, create an AP Art Google Folder and put the pdfs in there. Picking later years is better since the AP Art tests are evolving (so the 2023 sample pdfs are better than 2020). Refer to these photo/art samples and the writing/captions before you conference with me. Click here:
