Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am requesting 12x18 sized art portfolios for my student art majors- 1 per student- first through fifth grades.

My goals are to:

Showcase Skills and Growth: Art portfolios provide a platform for students to showcase their artistic abilities, talents, and growth over time. By compiling their best work, students can demonstrate their skills, creativity, and technical proficiency to potential colleges, employers, or clients.

Documentation of Progress: Portfolios serve as a visual record of a student's artistic journey, documenting their progress and development over time. This documentation can be valuable for self-reflection, allowing students to see how far they've come and identify areas for improvement.

Preparation for Higher Education: For students planning to pursue higher education in art-related fields, such as fine arts, graphic design, or illustration, a well-curated portfolio is often a requirement for admission. Building and refining a portfolio during high school or undergraduate studies can better prepare students for the application process and increase their chances of acceptance into their desired programs.

My students are amazing! I have about 100 Art Majors each year. These students have Art as their main focus. Part of this is creating and maintaining portfolios for their future endeavors.

At our school, we focus on the Arts, offer high-quality instruction, add integration of arts and academics, expose students to arts opportunities:, support a diverse community, prepare for higher education and careers (portfolio cases directly allow us to prepare for magnet auditions in middle and high school fine art programs as well as provide a visual record of individual student growth.)

Overall, magnet fine arts programs, like Pace, offer students a specialized and immersive educational experience that fosters artistic growth, academic excellence, and personal development, preparing them for success in both the arts and beyond.
