AP® Art and Design

1 / 16

Grier offers AP® Art and Design 2D & 3D as a two-year program to students in grades 11 and 12, culminating in a portfolio submission to the College Board® in the spring of grade 12.

Initial enrollment in this course is available to students entering grade 11 with prior art study and following a sketchbook review. Assessment throughout the course is project-based, resulting in a final portfolio of 2D and 3D work. In addition to serving as the AP® Assessment tool for this course, teachers assist students in creating portfolios that fulfill requirements for submission to post-secondary program admissions and merit-based financial aid opportunities.

Ashleigh Stangel

Teacher

Bio
Ashleigh Stangel teaches Ceramics and AP Art and Design at Grier School. She received her formal training and PA teaching certificate from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, and graduated with the Jane D. Bonelli Art Education department award for excellence in teaching and academics. She earned her AP Art and Design Certificate over a summer institute at Columbia College Chicago, and has returned to higher education as a MFA Illustration candidate through Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).

Art has surrounded Ashleigh her entire life. She grew up in a household of ceramics and pottery, both parents as working professionals and artists. This cultivation and love for fine art has inspired her to provide the same experience for her students. Her AP Art and Design alumni have received admissions offers at top art and design schools (RISD, Ringling, SAIC, Pratt, Parsons, SVA, SCAD) and she hopes to continue that trend onward and upward. Grier Art Department goals are emulated in Ashleigh's everyday pedagogy: to learn, to grow, and to develop a unique artist voice.
