Our Digital Art & Design II students were challenged to visually communicate a famous idiom using a graphic image—and the results are incredible! We had a blast trying to figure out what each piece represented in class, so we thought we'd bring the fun to you.
How well do you know your idioms? Swipe through the slides and take a guess!

The new 3D Art Class is off to a fantastic start! Students are putting their creativity and problem-solving skills to work, designing and building functional sculptures that also serve as habitats for small animals.
