Selected Works

For details on how to create and choose artwork for this portfolio section, see AP Art and Design Selected Works Overview.

Instructions

1. Open the Selected Works page and select the Works tab.

You’ll see a table containing spaces for the images and fields for information.

2. Upload your images.

Choose the row you would like to upload, click Add, and either drag your image into the box or click Upload.

• For AP 2-D Art and Design and AP Drawing, you’ll upload five digital images of five artworks (one view of each).
• For AP 3-D Art and Design, you’ll upload 10 digital images of five artworks (two views of each).  

3. Enter the materials and processes for each image.

Identify the following for each image: 

• Ideas (250 characters maximum, including spaces).
• Materials (150 characters maximum, including spaces).
• Processes (250 characters maximum, including spaces).
• Dimensions (height x width x depth, in inches). For work that is flat, enter 0 or leave blank for depth. For images that document process or show detail, enter NA. For digital and virtual work, enter the size of the intended visual display.
• Image citation (200 characters maximum, including spaces). When your artwork is inspired by or references another source, such as a photo, artwork, or still image, you must include a short citation to give credit even if the pre-existing image is copyright free or in the public domain. Note the type of use (e.g., reference, inspiration), title or description, and if known: creator’s name, year, and primary source link. Formal citation styles (APA, MLA) are not required—just be clear and concise. Refer to the Artistic Integrity Agreement for more information on ethical use of sources and the AP Art and Design AI Policy.
• Any digital tools used (200 characters maximum, including spaces).

4. Replace or remove images as needed.

To replace an image of a work, click Edit and select the new image file. To remove a work entirely from your Selected Works section, including information about the materials and processes, select Clear All X. 

5. Reorder images as needed.

To rearrange your images, change the work number value under Work, or click the Reorder tab and drag the images into your preferred order. 

6. Review your work.

Click View as Slideshow to review a slideshow of your images, including the information you’ve entered for each image.

7. Remember to save changes before leaving.

Select Save before moving to another portfolio component.

8. Come back to this tab to view or edit your images.

You can make changes any time before you submit this portfolio component as final.
