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 as well as two pre AP courses,Graphic Design and Foundations of Technology to about 100 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 thought and feelings that influence 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 Wacom tablets will allow my AP 2D Design students to be able to use their drawing skills along with their computer skills. A Wacom tablet is a graphic design tablet that uses a special pen-like stylus, similar to the way a person draws images with a pencil and paper, but the images appear on the computer screen. We only have two tablets for class sizes of 32 at this point and they are very popular with my art students. We need an additional 3 tablets and a replacement stylus to allow even more students to be able to explore and master this creative technology. They will be able learn so many new 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.
