This is our site for VACOMP during the 2014-2015 school year. This is the second year that we are having VACOMP at Hightower Trail Middle School. I have been teaching art here at HTMS since 2012. I love my job and it is rewarding seeing a student love art, understanding new concepts and then taking it a step further and making it their own.
In my classroom we follow along with their Social Study classes in order to promote a more wholeness in learning. Along with incorporating the Social Studies into my curriculum I also have students work on school competitions like our Foundations magnet every year. I love letting students work with Photoshop since our culture is getting more accustomed to using technology on a daily basis I want my students to have experience and knowledge of how these programs work.
Portfolios for VA COMP 2014-2015
Sketches for January are due January 30th!!! I need them to be labeled with the week # and all logs need to be turned in, these should be on as few pages as possible.
This site is meant to help you with our VACOMP class. You may look at last year's VACOMP site and the students work as well.
