Art & English Collaborative Project
|
A current library art display is a collaboration between Mr. Dobberstein's Literature class and three of Ms. Bloomer's Drawing classes. One of the hours the literature and art students paired up to plan an illustration from a short horror story that the English student read. They worked together as if they were author and illustrator. They shared the story line, layout ideas for the drawing , and medium choices.
Two of the drawing classes were paired in small groups which had to choose a short story with a horror theme to read and illustrate. Students could brainstorm ideas within their small group about story line choices for illustration, layout ideas, and critique each other's work while in progress.

HUHS will be hosting a presentation for college-bound students and their parents to learn about grants, loans, student employment, and scholarships on
Wednesday, December 16, at 6:30pm. A speaker from Great Lakes Higher Education will be here to discuss the process of how families finance college costs through all the available options. Senior students and parents should plan to attend!
