These resources may seem small, but they had a big impact: students used them during activities like the cup-stacking teamwork challenge, where they practiced collaboration and problem-solving while having fun. We also introduced \"accountable talk\" strategies to strengthen academic conversations, and students even learned how to tie a tie—building confidence and life skills.\r\n\r\nThe snacks helped keep students energized and focused during a math-and-literacy crossover activity, where they \"crunched the numbers\" on a sample transcript to decide if a student would be promoted to the next grade.

Instead of relying only on traditional drawing, painting, or collage, students will explore how stitching, embroidery, and fabric manipulation can function as mark-making and textural layering. Thread can be used to outline forms, create linear movement, or add dimension, while fabric pieces can be integrated into collages or mixed-media works to push the boundaries of surface design. These materials invite students to think critically about craftsmanship, material choices, and how unconventional techniques can enhance the conceptual meaning of their work.\r\n\r\nThe impact on student learning will be significant because sewing encourages experimentation, risk-taking, and problem-solving—key components of the AP rubric. Students will gain an opportunity to connect fine art with craft traditions, broadening their understanding of artistic practices across cultures and time periods. Working with sewing materials also fosters patience and attention to detail, skills that strengthen technical precision in all art forms. Most importantly, by incorporating tactile and layered surfaces, students will develop richer visual vocabularies and more original, personal approaches to their inquiry work. This expansion of materials not only supports creativity but also helps students create portfolio pieces that stand out as innovative and conceptually strong.","fullyFundedDate":1755733341038,"projectUrl":"project/sewing-craft-art-club/9299456/","projectTitle":"Sewing Craft Art Club","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. H.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1028228_orig.png?crop=310,310,x0,y5&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650665326362","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/karen-howard"},{"teacherId":1028228,"projectId":9234412,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our AP Drawing students!
