My Project

As we continue to grow our Graphic Arts curriculum, now in its third year, we are proud to offer a diverse range of authentic projects, including logo design, illustration, advertising, and studio photography. The students appreciate the variety of choices which are aligned with their interests, cultural backgrounds, and professional aspirations.

Our aging eight year-old iPads are shared amongst ten different art classes, and with technology not lasting forever, it is time to consider upgrading our equipment.

With iPads, students will be able to create comic strips, abstract paintings, and graffiti art projects. Additionally, many of my graphic artists benefit and learn better by using iPads rather than conventional desktop software, as this technology, combined with styluses, offers more intuitive and creative control.
