In Mr. Jones's STEAM class (GOPA), students are refining their questions and creating art works that engage a dialogue with popular culture. Popular culture is usually accessed by the students through technology. The idea to create new works in the art studio with non-technology art media has inspired the students to see these images in terms of the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design.
In Mrs. Simons' STEAM class (SOIT), students are working on an exciting "Dragons" project as well as African masks for Black History Month. For the "Dragons" project, PIR Dina Scachetti recently gave a presentation on the topic of dragons, their history as metaphors in various cultures, their relation to the history of dinosaurs and fossils on our planet, and the geography of map making.
The African Masks project has included a look into culture, history, science, art, and technology. Next week, Art PIR Triada Samaras will create an art exhibition of the masks along the halls of GOPA. Students will make a short video based on their interviews and their critique of their work. This video will be broadcast on the high school's intranet.
