[teacherartexchange] Another AP Question

---------

Hello All
I have been reading the post on AP Studio Art and I too had a real difficult time getting the students to produce enough work within a class to meet the requirements. The question I have is does AP Studio Art really benefit the students as an AP Class is suppose to do by earning a student college credit if they have a passing score? I have always felt that a college would want an entering freshmen to take their foundation art classes which is the class that an AP art course would earn them credit for. If I am wrong here let me know. If any AP teacher have had students that received a passing score on the test and this score helped them receive credit in college please let me know. I have talk to several students who said that once they got to college that their AP scores really didn't help them. I no longer teach AP but have been thinking about doing it again. It is a fun class to teach, lot of work but challenging. I think that it is great for directing the student to begin thinking about college a
nd preparing a student for college by making them create a portfolio, but I don't want to sell it as a way to earn college credit if it really isn't going to do that.

Blessings,
Joe
