The dreaded AP Art

<< < (4/6) > >>

benji:
Things like AP credit will vary from school to school, but at a lot of schools they won't count towards your major field of study. Since art is your major in art school, they may give you credit for AP Art, but they probably won't let you out of something they want you to take.

For one of my college art classes I chose stamp carving and I  chose a very ambitious image, I'm not that paitient so I switched to something else, my fave project was a weaved piece I did, or maybe my paint sample mosaic, I can't decide, but they were bothe a lot of work, not necesarilly AP

Not really. My professors could could kick my HS art teacher's butt. :lol: But really, they are amazing and I'm not sad about not having AP art.

Yeah I regret taking it, and I don't really want to waste money on the test since I want to take all the foundation courses at CCAD. Of course at this point, I have to finish all the work for a class grade anyway, so I might as well just take the test.

Yeah, I feel guilty when I do giant prismacolor drawings because they run out so fast (I blend a lot of layers), and it's like 2 bucks a pencil around here. Of course theres no point in having them if I'm not allowed to use 'em :). Oil sticks sound really neat, actually. Are they as expensive/more expensive than regular ol' oil paint?

Saiokuo:
Well, even if you don't take the test it's still a good art learning experience. According to my art teacher an Art I class in college is basically a bunch of charcoal and pencil figure/still life drawings so it's completely different from the AP art requirements.

Haha, I know how you feel, I hate using the class supplies or any of my mom's paint because of how expensive it all is. No wonder there are so many poor, starving artists. I don't actually know how much regular oil paint is since I haven't used it. But an oil paint stick is about the size of a tube of paint and sticks are ~$5-$8 and I'd hope a tube of paint isn't that much. I'll do some research later. There are a few good online art supply stores with good deals but I've found a local college art store to have better prices for them. If you want to get some you might try a smaller store like that. : )
