📝 Prep Tips

  • Draw every day — even 15-minute sketching sessions build the muscle memory and observation skills you need
  • Study past high-scoring AP Drawing portfolios to understand the quality and depth expected
  • Push beyond realism — the sustained investigation rewards conceptual thinking and personal voice
  • Use a variety of drawing media (graphite, charcoal, ink, colored pencil) to show technical range
  • Write your artist statement early and revise it throughout the year — it frames how readers interpret your work
