Over the past two weeks, our Junior Digital Media class completed a comprehensive unit exploring the critical intersection of visual arts, technology, and user experience (UX).

A Trip to MOMA
HSFI 10th graders from our Materials & Techniques class spent the day at MoMA exploring how artists use materials, and why those choices matter.
From wire and video monitors to soft sculpture and found objects, students observed, discussed, and reflected on how material can shape meaning, emotion, and experience.
Looking closely is part of the process

Martial Arts Club
The past two weeks the Martial Arts Club explored the Chinese Fan. In ancient times the Chinese fan was the ultimate concealed tool. It was carried by scholars and travelers because it was both functional and elegant. Our club learned the physics of the snap. The loud crack of the fan opening provides instant feedback on your speed and technique. It also has dual purposes. It's the only training tool that helps you cool down after a hard workout.

Holiday Tree of Life!
Before winter break, students in Ms. Ng's and Ms. O'Brien's Biology class decorated their holiday tree with some origami critters! The students worked hard and showed their creativity to bring these pieces of paper to life. All the while, they learned some Festive Fun Fauna Fashion Facts! While the weather was surely frightful outside, our students made our Holiday Tree of Life so delightful!
