On March 1, FCHS art teacher Michelle Coleman launched a competition between some of the most significant art in history. From historical sites and architecture, to paintings and sculptures, 64 images have been chosen from a selection of 250 famous artworks by Coleman’s AP Art History students. The 64 starting images will be slowly narrowed down to one winning image, which will be announced on ITK and celebrated in the AP Art History class at the end of March.

Coleman holds this M”art”ch Madness competition, now in its second year, to engage her students and create excitement for art in her classroom. “I want to generate excitement for Art and Art History while advertising for my courses,” said Coleman. FCHS students and staff are invited to join the voting.

Meanwhile, Coleman’s AP students compete in weekly activities for extra credit, and M”art”ch Madness event is no different. AP Art History students are required to vote, and for every image they choose in each round that moves on, they receive extra credit points. Each round is worth more and more points as the stakes increase.

Students and staff who want to vote should look for weekly emails from Coleman during March, or look for the M”art”ch Madness link on the Student Hub.
