Teri Parris Ford, Art Teacher
As an art teacher at James Madison
Memorial High School I try to challenge my art students with fun,
exciting and new art projects. I strive to make the work real,
thought provoking and community connected. Working with
Bob Bowers
and HIVictorious® brought everything together for my students. Most
of my students used cutting edge technology, Adobe Illustrator, to
create posters for the “What if it Were You?”
HIV/AIDS poster
contest, but most all media was available to them. Having Bob come
in to speak to my classes about real world problems; HIV, AIDS, and
the related stigma that goes with those world health issues, laid
the foundation for the project. Students then had to take time to
answer the question thoughtfully and artistically. Students brought
not only skills learned from my illustration class to the table but
their own ideas and history. The result was amazing. Students
finished feeling truly challenged.
