I hope this finds you having a relaxing summer. I attended the AP Conference and sat in on terrific workshops geared towards studio art teachers. As I only teach the AP Drawing Exam, I was pleased to learn more about the AP Two-Dimensional Art Exam. There are lots of reasons to consider teaching it. Are there teachers out there who teach both and would like to share their thoughts about it here?
Also, I was very excited to be reminded about a program I looked at a few years ago- VoiceThread- and see how useful it could be for the art studio setting. Teachers can mark up work and allow students to either write or record opinions (moderated by the teacher) that relate to the work. This could be a great way to conduct class critiques outside of class time, if time is tight. Were any others at the conference? It would be great to hear your thoughts about it!
