In Applied Arts with Ms. Monteiro- Bernard, sophomore students from our Painting and Design shop explore a variety of materials and
techniques to create mixed-media visual journals that are inspired by shop
projects. Each week a page is created and added to the year-long project
producing a log of their learning experiences. Students accumulate a collection
of experimental art that represents their shop projects and combines all pages
into a bound journal as an end result. The English department has also recently
integrated with this project to further enhance writing skills as support to
the students’ visuals.
