North High Fine Arts congratulates senior Kevin Brinkman, who recently
learned that the College Board (AP) has selected his drawing, entitled “Acid
Rain” as one of 15 exemplary works to be featured in a special National AP
Exhibition that will travel around the United States.
The exhibit represents a selection of some of the finest artwork created
by students who submitted portfolios for the AP Studio Art Exam in May 2012.
The pieces were chosen from over 40,000 portfolios after the portfolio scoring,
which is conducted by a group of high school and college art educators with
extensive experience in the AP Studio Art program. Each work was selected
because it exemplifies the extremely high level of rigor, commitment and
accomplishment that AP Studio Art students can achieve. The exhibit is produced
each year by the AP Program as part of a celebration of AP student work and it
honors outstanding AP Studio Art students. The exhibit also serves to inform
students, teachers, parents and members of the art education community about opportunities
available through participation in the AP Studio Art program and the diverse
subjects, styles, media, techniques and expressions available to AP students.
The AP Studio Art Exhibit is shown at different locations around the United States throughout the year. This year the exhibit premiered at the AP Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida in July. It will be displayed at the Guardabassi Gallery of Pine Crest School in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in September; The College Board National Forum at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in Florida in October; the Norris Cultural Arts Center in St. Charles, Illinois in November; the gallery of San Leandro High School in San Leandro, California in January 2013; the National Art Education Association conference in Fort Worth, Texas in March; the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois in April; and the gallery of Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, Georgia in June.
