Shoreham-Wading River High School students in the Advanced Placement Studio Art: Drawing and AP Studio Art: 2D Design classes submitted their portfolios for review at the end of the 2018 academic year and all received scores of passing or better as well as college credit for the course. Two of the 2018 graduates, Olivia Acuna (front row, center) and Danielle Amato (back row, left) both received a perfect score of five out of five.

The courses, taught by art teacher Jason Andria, are designed for students who are interested in the practical experience of art and correspond to common college foundation courses. The elements and principles of design as well as the sophisticated use of all media are studied. The works involved concentrated dimensional forms as well as historical background. In addition to Olivia and Danielle, Mr. Andria worked with students Sara Benincasa, Meghan Hromada, Samantha Hunt, Meghan Logan and Sarah Parker, offering critiques and encouraging them to fully demonstrate and clarify their ideas and personal goals.
