Class Spotlight: MS & HS Arts
Off The Wall Art
Students in Kay C.'s Advanced Digital Media 11/12 course added an interactive element to the 2nd floor Commons this month. Passersby can use their Burke iPads to scan the QR code under each image to trigger an augmented reality (AR) experience, which lets us "see the real-life environment right in front of us with a digital augmentation overlaid on it."

Contemporary Quilts
The Ceramics 8 class with Deborah Z. visited "We Gather at the Edge: Contemporary Quilts by Black Women Artists" at the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery. Open through June 22, the exhibition "honors the legacy of Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi and celebrates members of the Women of Color Quilters Network," tying into the 8th grade's history course, including their recent trip to Alabama.
Rock Across the Pond
To wrap up the winter trimester, Instrumental Music (Band) 9/10 opened their doors during the double period and played an awesome set, with music by Coldplay, The Cure, and The Cranberries and vocals by Amy T. '28, Gabe D. '28, and Serena D. '28.
