Recently, in Half Hollow Hills, both high schools, East and West, held their annual Art Day. This all-day event showcases the many talents of students and the variety of classes available to all students in grades 9 through 12.
Students develop skills in the use of a variety of materials, processes, mediums and techniques, and use appropriate technologies for creating and exhibiting visual art works. They engage in individual and group visual arts projects and describe various roles and means of creating, exhibiting and performing works of art.
Art classes offered at the two high schools encompass the full range of art mediums: studio in art, media arts, creative crafts, design and drawing for production, photography, ceramics and sculpture, web design, video production, computer graphics, architectural design, fashion illustration and fashion design, drawing and painting and design and illustration.
More Advanced Placement art courses for possible college credit, include drawing--two-dimensional and three-dimensional--and art history. After-school activities include an Art Honor Society and various art clubs and art service clubs.
Sal Randazzo, Director of Music/Fine Arts said, “The arts are a vital part of a child's well-rounded education and a necessity in any well-structured, comprehensive educational program.”
