Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

"Study the science of art. Study the art of science," Leonardo Da Vinci.

Our Biology Engineering Arts Science Technology (BEAST) is a STEAM-powered Career and Technical Education (CTE) program in which students study art, biology, and physics through the lens of the film and theme park industries to innovate and create animatronics, machines that move like living creatures and other entertainment effects.

We are dedicated to empowering students through art and science to develop their own skills in innovation, creativity and collaborationin our two courses, Mechanical Arts Design Engineering (MADE) and Biological Arts Design Engineering (BADE) course.

Our student body ranges across many socioeconomic levels and cultural backgrounds (with many Title I and minority students). Their backgrounds vary widely from "high achieving" students who plan to move onto four-year colleges and universities (including Ivy league schools, film schools, and art schools) to other students who struggle with grades​ and work after school to help support their families. All our kids want to believe that they can have a future in the Arts and Sciences!

My Project

Our students are constantly striving to create new, interesting and ever more realistic special effects, but as the SFX industry grows, newer and increasingly expensive materials are becoming the norm.

With these airbrushes and alcohol based paints, students will be able to do all sorts of SFX painting, in particular silicone and foam latex appliances to simulate realistic Hollywood-style injury effects!

Acrylic paints, do not become "one" with the appliance, and blister and peel of when the appliance moves. All the pros use these materials, and as a Career & Technical Education program, our students need to use them too!
