Houses for Haiti

Final service project is creating an image to donate to Houses for Haiti. You will need to find/purchase a substrate (that means the thing you are going to paint/draw)to create this image on. These will not be provided by the art department. I'm expected to see amazing images, with lots of time, care and thought put into it. This will be graded.

I know that for most of you the end of the year is creeping up on you and that you are feeling done with school. Please take the time to go to this website and be inspired. http://www.housesforhaiti.org/

I'm really hoping that all of you will step up to the plate and take this project seriously, think about what others are going through in other parts of the universe. It won't kill you to spend $10.00 on a canvas and paint a beautiful image of a 'home' in hopes to raise money for a worthy cause.

I'm excited to see the results!

Big Week Ahead

This is a big exciting week for all of us. The AP Art Showcase is on Thursday from 4 - 7pm.

What you need, the sooner the better...

1. Your concentration/artist statement matted on black board ready to go by Thursday at 11:00

2. All your concentration pieces, matted, ready to go by Thursday at 11:00. If your work is done now and hasn't been photographed PLEASE bring it to the art room ASAP so that we can get that done.

3. Dessert for 10 people.

4. You are responsible for set up and tear down of your own work as well as helping out with the clean up after the show. We all stay until it's done. It usually takes about 20 minutes if everyone helps out.

5. Seniors please make sure I have the yellow form with the information about where you are going to school next year etc.

6. NAHS hours are due on the 19th of May. The sooner you get those in the better.

7. Smiles, this is your party to celebrate your work! Invite your friends, your teachers, your family.

Can't wait!

I'm back and so tired

I'm back........ be good to Ms. McB tomorrow she's tired! Lots to tell you, MICA is AMAZING!!! I want to go to MICA and be an art student. Baltimore is beautiful, of course it was spring and it wasn't snowing.....lovely place.

Off to the National Art Educators Conference

This next week I will be at the National Art Educators conference learning all kinds of new things and sharing our blogspot with other art educators. While I'm gone you all need to be working hard on your last concentration pieces.

There has been some confusion on when the AP Art Showcase is. The actual for sure date of the AP Art Showcase is April 29th, Thursday. You will display all your concentration pieces at the show.

You might want to begin bring that work in, getting it matted and ready for display. When I get back we will need to buckle down and be ready to rock and roll. The showcase is a great opportunity for us to celebrate all your hard work and show off what you have been up to. Ms. Burnham is creating postcards for the showcase and will have those done soon. You can invite all your family and friends for this great night. The event will go from 4 - 7 pm. You will be responsible for hanging, labeling and preparing all your own work. Each of you will need to bring a dessert for the evening, enough to share with at least 10 people.

Can't wait! See you all soon.

Creating with Abandon

It's time to get into it. Three pieces of art need to be completed by April 28th. You can do it. Rock it out like this little pigs.

Tuesday during class those of you who signed up for the AP test will join me in the computer lab to start the online process. Shouldn't take us too long.

We still need volunteers to paint the cow. It needs to be done by Friday :)
