Artist Statement

How do you write an artist statement? What should I say about my work? Why should I write one, other than the fact that Ms. McBride said I have to?

Here are some interesting sites with information about writing an artist statement that should help you.

Off to Nationals - Be Good

Wednesday I leave for Nationals in MLPS, MN. I'm very excited to share with other art educators all the great work you are doing.

By April 30th you need:

1. Two new concentration pieces (last ones!)
2. All your concentration work ready to hang. That means, eyescrews, wire, matted, all that good stuff.
3. Keep that blog updated and keep talking to each other. You are each others greatest champions.
4. Concentration statements written and printed out for the AP Art Showcase.

Don't miss me too much. Be good.

AP Art Showcase 2009

It's coming, it's coming! The big event of last year the AP Art Showcase. SAVE THE DATE:

April 30th 2009 4:00 - 7:00

This is a required activity and worth 10% of your overall grade.

Total Dedication and Focus

This is it. The last month before AP portfolios are due. You need to create two pieces of art, your last two, the best two. Take advantage of your class time. Come to class with work to do. This month with zip by. We need to resize all the breadth images and put them on the AP website. Easy but it will take time.

Rah, Rah AP Art!!! (This kid is focused, you can be too!)
