If a student gets into trouble or violates the dress code, he or she is sent to APR (Alternative Placement Room) to do their work. If an art student happens to end up there, I do not send their artwork, but instead a packet of artist biographies with response guides. Last quarter, I had one student turn in a particularly great response to the Vincent Van Gogh biography.
"This is how I feel about van gogh's life. First, I think his life could have been way better. Because he was a great artist. He had potential. And was smart. Next he was too worried about them women. And they drove him insane. Which I am not gonna let nobody bring me down. I can promise you that one. Last, as you can see I honestly think that if he would've left them females alone he would've never been stressing at all."
