Mastering the Arts: OHHS Art and Design Students Excel in AP Art and Design & Art History

Posted on: July 25, 2025 8:00 am

The OHHS Art and Design Department is proud to recognize the incredible achievements of our visual arts students, several of whom earned the top score of a 5 on this year’s AP Art and Design and AP Art History exams. These scores reflect their deep commitment to hard work, critical thinking, and creative exploration.

AP Art and Design students undertook a year-long journey to develop a portfolio that demonstrates both conceptual development and technical skill. The course challenges students to explore a self-driven line of inquiry through a series of artworks, encouraging experimentation, research, and personal voice. Their portfolios are evaluated by professional artists and educators, and a score of 5 indicates the highest level of accomplishment, with the work showing exceptional artistic decision-making and mastery of materials.

Meanwhile, students in AP Art History immersed themselves in over 250 works of art spanning diverse cultures, time periods, and media. This rigorous course asks students to analyze and interpret visual, historical, and contextual elements of art from prehistory to the present. A score of 5 on the AP Art History exam signifies a high level of visual literacy, historical understanding, and analytical writing ability.

Congratulations to our outstanding AP Art and Design and AP Art History scholars!
