TAO!

A standing ovation was in order on Saturday night, November 26th, when TAO, the internationally renowned Japanese drum performance group, performed on stage at Harris Theater as part of the Chicago Human Rhythm Project. AAEP students and staff in attendance were captivated by the energy, rhythm and force packed into a stage production that takes the primitive Japanese taiko drum into the 21st Century. AAEP students and staff alike enjoyed this wonderful cultural experience. HAI!

COLLEGE BOARD USES AAEP STUDENT’S WORK AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO EARN A TOP SCORE IN AP 3-D DESIGN

AP Central (that’s the website for everything you need to know about Advanced Placement and the College Board) just added the 2007 portfolio for AAEP student Lakesha Noble to its website. Lakesha’s breathtaking work is being used as an example of what kind of works in the Studio Art 3-D Design Breadth section earn a top score. Go online to apcentral.collegeboard.com to view Lakesha’s sculptures. Congratulations to Lakesha from John Hope College Preparatory for this outstanding honor!
