My Students
My students attend an urban high school. Even though they have a lot on their plate and they come from neighborhoods that are far from affluent, they are committed to doing their best to be prepared for college. What isn't in short supply is my student's enthusiasm and motivation to seize every opportunity to take honors and AP classes that will help them prepare for college. This next school year I will be teaching AP 2D Design to about 30 students. I am so impressed that my students are willing to take on the extra work to succeed in a college level class.
My Project
AP or Advanced Placement is a program created by the College Board which offers college-level curricula and examinations to high school students. Many colleges and universities grant placement and course credit to students who obtain high scores on the examinations. My AP 2D Design students must create an entire portfolio of college level original artwork during the school year. We will cover techniques, the elements and principals of design, art history as well as their own personal influences in their artwork.
By the end of the course my AP students will develop a body of work that explores and investigates an original idea that is important to them.
Having binders, sketchbooks and a subscription to Scholastic Arts Magazine will allow my AP 2D Design students to be organized, develop their ideas and learn about art history and the elements and principals of design. One way we will use the sketchbooks is for visual journaling or keeping a daily record of their thoughts, ideas and personal growth. Because this is a college level class the binders will be used to keep all my student’s readings, assignments and research organized. Scholastic Arts Magazine is an excellent tool for students to read and learn about art history and techniques.
My students have the mindset and motivation to take on the huge challenge of an AP Studio art course. I am excited that I will be able to witness their personal growth though out the year, and I will be able to grow with them as a teacher. With your support, my students will score big in their AP class.
