My Project

As our graphic arts curriculum enters its fourth year, we’re excited to offer students a range of authentic projects, from logo design and illustration to advertising and studio photography. This variety allows students to explore projects that align with their interests, backgrounds, and career goals.

Currently, we have a partial set of iPads that are shared among several art classes, which can be challenging as our program grows.

Additional iPads would allow more students to engage fully in digital projects, including comic strips, abstract paintings, and graffiti art, which they are eager to explore.

Many students benefit from the iPad’s intuitive design, which offers them a more natural way to create. With styluses, they gain precise control, making digital art feel more like hands-on studio work. An expanded iPad set would give them the tools they need to learn, create, and grow as young artists.
