AP Art Students: Their Art Show Sections

By: Mere Strickland

The art show has finally opened again and one of the largest aspects of it is the display of the AP Art Portfolios. Here is a list (with photos!) of every portfolio and their inquiries. An inquiry in an AP portfolio is the central idea or theme an artist follows through their journey of creation. The inquiry is essential to a portfolio, and you can see them demonstrated through the art show.
