The Last One - And I bet you are all so sad about it!

This is it, the last blog comment you will make in AP Art for the year.  Pause, for the moment of sadness. 

This year unlike most seems to have flown by.  I was thinking about why it was that I feel that way, and one of the biggest reason why was you guys.  When you have a smart, fun, easy group of kids that cares and works hard the year goes by fast.  It's been a banner year with so many of you receiving awards.  This year we participated in more art shows, contests and art opportunities than any other of my 11 years at Lakeridge.  Maybe we all didn't have time to think about time passing by!

I will miss each one of you for different reasons and expect that you will come to visit often.  Don't worry this isn't goodbye yet, I don't want to start crying in May!  For your last Blogging experience I would like you to do the following.  Please log in to your own personal blog and post a few of your favorite pieces you did this year, they don't have to be from your concentration, they can be from whatever.

1. Post a few pictures!
2. Write a 'letter' to a future AP 2-D student.  What advice would you give them?
3. In your 'letter' reflect on your year a little bit. 

That's it!  I'll let the seniors know what we are doing about Lumberjack Breakfast & Axe Throwing once I find out if we won this Vans contest or not. 

Beginnings and Endings

This is going to be a week of beginnings and ends.  On Tuesday you will be submitting your AP portfolio.  If you have not already you need to upload your breadth and concentration images to the AP site.  You will also need to write a commentary located on the concentration page.  You also need to have all five our your quality pieces selected and ready to ship.

On Thursday you and at least one other person need to make a presentation on an environmental artist.  We will be having a little party to celebrate the end of the portfolios!  The following week we will begin planning our environmental project and making it happen.

If you could would you please do one of the following in leu of a comment below.

1. Post the information about the Vans contest on your FB page.  You may have already done this before, but do it again.  Or better yet, do it again AND get your parents to put it on their page as well.

2. Tweet out the information to your twitter followers!

3.  Instagram the info about the Vans.

You will need to show Ms. McBride one of these three things on Monday.  If you don't not have access to any social media make a comment below that tells me how you will spread the word the old fashioned way.  aka ride your bike around the neighborhood and deliver cards to neighbors.  put cards on peoples cars in the mall.  you get it!

Almost done!
