Turning in Digital Artwork for Quality?

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I’m in AP 2D Design, and a good portion of my artwork is digitally drawn. My traditional pieces aren’t great, so I don’t want to turn them in for quality.</p>

<p>However, I discussed this with my teacher, and she said that digital artwork can be mistaken for photo manipulations or photography, and some people think computers do all the work in digital.</p>

<p>She explained it could hurt me if I turn in too many of my digital pieces in the form of prints for quality - to the point where it could drop me from a 5 to a 4.</p>

<p>I’m a little dismayed because all my best traditional pieces have been auctioned off or gifted, and good traditional artwork takes a while for me to finish.</p>

<p>Has anyone had any experience with turning in digital artwork for quality? If so, do graders really frown upon digital?</p>

<p>Well, I am not the most experienced at AP Art (I’m doing IB Art instead) but from perusing the previous AP Art samples, digital art is very acceptable in the 2-D portfolio, in fact one of the highest scoring concentration was entirely consisting of digital art peices</p>

<p>In honesty, I do not think that submitting digital artwork will hurt you in the Quality section, maybe the Breadth section, since I’ve seen people submit almost entirely all photographs for quality/concentration/breadth and still manage to get a 5</p>
