For those who don't remember, I teach art at Fulton High School.  The class I have chosen to VTS with is my Advanced Art class.  I only have 14 students in this class, so will be a pretty small sample, but I think that VTSing with tis group will provide a great sense of community for the kids.  This class is mostly composed of junior and seniors who have taken the other art classes at the high school.  Most of them want to go in to an art field, but some just want a place to express themselves.  The class is very independent--they develop their own projects to complete throughout the year that will benefit their portfolios.  I can definitely see VTS benefitting this class.  Most of these kids have a pretty large art vocabulary already, but I think it will help the students to better develop their own ideas about artwork and form opinions on them based on visual evidence.  I'm really excited for this class and can't wait to see what kind of beautiful things emerge.
