Our high schoolers had an incredible experience exploring the Corning Museum of Glass for Falcon Day yesterday, where they witnessed live glassblowing demonstrations and explored stunning exhibits! This field trip was a fantastic opportunity for students to engage with art, science, and history in a whole new way.
Students in the High School Printmaking course recently worked with local printmaking artist, Pamela Rozelle Drix. Drix is a print media artist navigating the edges of culture, geography, history, and psychology. Students were introduced to the gum transfer printing process, shown and analyzed professional prints, and worked alongside Drix to develop personal inspiration ideas.
Great work from these High School Falcons! #foreverfalcons
