How did it happen so fast?!?! I feel like I am still on the bajillion hour bus ride that took us to the retreat in September not counting down the last 20 days til graduation.
Dear Future AP Art Student,
The most important thing about AP is to make what you love. If you get suckered into a concentration that you have no interest in, you're gonna have a sucky year. The next most important thing is to make it fun! If you are like me, you will probably end up doing most of your stuff outside of the actual class period so make it fun while you're there. Bring trailmix and dance to the funk music and steal dum dums from Mrs. McBride's desk. I don't have one favorite memory from my last 2 years in AP, but all of the little moments balled up into one are what made it such a good experience. When classmates win really impressive awards and their hard work/time is all justified or when people make really cool pieces that you can tell they are proud of are my favorites, and when everyone shows off their work to the outside world of non-artsits who are completely impressed by everything we make at the Showcase is fun too. Also the random stuff like taking a photo at the Christmas party with all of the blonde girls and Sawyer. There's always the 2-3 awkward boys so it's funny to laugh at that.
Anyway, have fun next year and make cool stuff!! Appreciate all of the little random things that happen and remember that Mrs. McBride's weirdness is what makes her one of the best teachers I've ever had. Congrats on being one of Lakeridge's newest artsy weird people. Go art!
