The ART classes at Hope are off to a great start. Each student has created a self portrait for the end of year exhibition, including our middle school student. Currently Studio Art is learning figure drawing, Photography is beginning “Horror Week” with a series of photographs that expose(pun intended) the students to a variety of filters and lighting tricks. Graphic Design is designing action figure compositions using visual rhythm, movement and repetition. We look forward to showing a sample of each unit in the spring exhibition.
This month we started a twelve week class on nutrition facilitated by Rutgers Cooperative Learning. Our students will immerse themselves in learning about proper nutrition and trying healthy foods. We are getting ready to make good choices at school. Thank you Nurse Fatima for arranging this great program.
