Here are the college level courses at MFHS for serious art and design students who can demonstrate a high level of independent work and development in art. Students who are planning on studying art and/or design in college will find these courses particularly useful. AP Art and Design classes are based on the standards, expectations and rigor of college level art and design courses. Students must be highly focused and selfmotivated. They will be expected to be open to instruction in class and able to devote a fair amount of time to independent work outside of class.

The lessons in the first semester are designed to help students learn and gain skills in various mediums and styles. During the second semester, students will develop a body of work based on an inquiry of their choice. Students will create two different portfolios in each AP Course: Selected Works and Sustained Investigation. The work needs to be high in quality and craftsmanship; therefore, successful completion of the prerequisite courses is required.

​Students must register for each semester separately.
