After a summer of preparing for these amazing students to enter the Art Room again, they have finally arrived. Some are dragging themselves in and some are already sailing. Regardless of how they feel when they enter my classroom, I meet them where they happen to be: emotionally, physically, psychologically.
I am so excited to finally be able to facilitate an AP Studio Art course. My students have been preparing mentally and artistically throughout the summer months and have come to me at the start of the academic year with an open mind. They are currently exploring the scoring guidelines of AP Studio Art portfolio submission, generating original and big ideas and beginning to ask themselves essential questions in regards to their ideas and objectives. I couldn't be happier about their first week accomplishments.
