In the Advanced Portfolio classes, motivated art students work on portfolios to submit for college admission, scholarships, and the A.P. exam.  Students choose the portfolio that best "fits" their chosen approach and media.  Students need to talk to the art teacher(s) if they are unsure which portfolio class to enroll in.  There is overlap, especially between the Drawing and the Art & Design Portfolios (You may refer to the AP Course Descriptions on the AP website for more information on the destinctions between the portfolios).  Each portfolio displays competence and range of understanding in three areas.  The Concentration section asks to demonstrate a depth of envestigation and process of discovery.  the breadth section asks to demonstrate a serious grounding in visual principles and a variety of material techniques.  The Quality section permits the student to select the works that exhibit their "best" examples of synthesizing form, technique and content.  Students may include artwork previously done in other studio art classes as part of submitting the required portfolio.
