If you're talking about oil pastels, sets run at affordable prices, and yes, they are quite nice to draw with. But then again, it's all a matter of what brand you get, but I have some that weren't expensive at all and are actually quite nice. (I have 3 sets: the cheapest is crap, and the other two, the one I'm talking about as well as a small set of Cray-pa's, which are decent.)

No, we were talking about oil paint in stick form; Or at least I was.

I just finished my AP portfolio about a week ago, thank god I chose the design portfolio so I can use photographs. I took two other advanced art classes, and used that class time to work on my portfolio pieces. Hooray for having one art teacher for everything!
My concentration turned out to be something like taking pictures of old buildings and painting them in modern way, similar to pop art. There are only three other kids in my AP class, so I was so excited to read about your concentrations. I'm not exactly sure how mine stacks up.
But I didn't take AP art for the credit. It's really useful to build a portfolio.

I love these threads!
I did my AP last year, but worked on it on and off from the beginning of my sophomore year. I tried switching concentrations halfway through and realized that I just wouldn't have enough pieces, so I went back to my original concentration of tattoos.
Breadth wasn't a problem for me, I just dug out whatever pieces I'd done that didn't have anything to do with tattooing and picked out the best ones.
My art teacher was really awesome, he introduced us to the AP program early on so we'd have time to get it all done.
Here's some of the ones that came out better.

Hey, those are really cool! I love the celtic knot piece; I did one of those for breadth in ink. Smart of your teacher to introduce it so early on I bet that made things alot easier. What medium(s) did you use? I thought I saw acrylic and chalk pastel...
