About Digital Submission
The AP Studio Art Exam consists of two components:
- Digital images and commentary submitted to AP via the Digital Submission Web application
- Physical portfolios: the Quality section (five actual artworks) for Drawing and 2-D Design portfolios, assembled and mailed to the AP Program
- Note: The 3-D Design portfolio has no physical component and is submitted entirely online.
- For more information about the digital submission process, view the Web demo.

Timeline for Students
Before January
Before January
- Capture digital images of your artworks that adhere to the image recommendations and requirements outlined at the bottom of this page.
- Log in to the Digital Submission Web Application as soon your teacher — or AP Coordinator, if you are home-schooled — provides access information. Check with your teacher or Coordinator if you haven't received this information by early February. (View this demo for more information about accessing the application.)
- Make sure that you have selected the correct type of portfolio (i.e., 2-D Design, 3-D Design, or Drawing). Selecting the correct portfolio type is very important, as it affects how the portfolio is scored.
- Begin uploading images as soon as possible after accessing the application, so that both you and your teacher can monitor the development of your portfolio. You can always delete, add or rearrange images later.
March and April
- Continue to work with your teacher on your portfolio.
- Confirm the deadline for you to submit your final digital portfolio to your teacher (or AP Coordinator). If you are submitting a 2-D Design or Drawing portfolio, confirm the date for assembly of the Quality section with your teacher or AP Coordinator.
- The AP Coordinator should provide you with information from your AP Student Pack (your AP number and a list of college codes) by sometime in April. You will need this information before you can forward your digital portfolio to your teacher.
- Submit your finalized digital portfolio to your teacher or AP Coordinator by his or her established deadline.
- After you forward your portfolios to your teacher or AP Coordinator, sign back in to the Web application occasionally to view your portfolio's status and to ensure that your Coordinator forwards your portfolios to the AP Program by 8 p.m. EDT on May 9, 2014. Only Coordinators can take this final step, and only portfolios that have a "Sent to AP" status at the time of this deadline will be received by the AP Program and scored.
