PHS Art Teacher to Present at State Convention in October

Picture
Mrs. Bjork will be presenting at the State Convention for Art Educators held by the Wisconsin Art Education Association (WAEA).  Mrs. Bjork will be presenting Digital Gets Dirty: Experimental Printmaking Techniques with her colleague, Meagan Hahn.  Both artist-educators earned their Masters Degrees in Visual Studies from Cardinal Stritch University and have exhibited their experimental prints around the Milwaukee area.  Mrs. Bjork also teaches these techniques as part of the Digital Photography program here at PHS. 

PHS AP Studio Art Class Focuses on College and Careers with Field Trip

Picture
Mrs. Bjork’s AP Studio Art class visited The Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) to cap off a week of college and career focused experiences.  Earlier in the week MIAD admissions officer, Cari Dulan presented information on how to apply for college and develop a portfolio that will win admission and scholarships.  Students learned about the many careers available through the Visual Arts.  On the class field trip students toured the school and also saw the new living spaces built in the heart of the historic Third Ward neighborhood (Milwaukee’s art center).  After visiting MIAD students explored the various galleries and architectural gems found throughout the area.  We discovered older art ranging from the 1500-1900s at Timothy Cobb Fine Arts and we also looked at local contemporary artists at Katie Gingrass, Tory Folliard and Elaine Erickson Galleries.  Lastly, students had the opportunity to photograph and sketch in Catalano Square and other surrounding areas of the Third Ward.

Sculpture 1 Students Create New Work

Students in Mr. Lamp’s Sculpture 1 class created assemblage sculptures during the first two weeks of school.  Assemblage sculptures are created from found, junk, or recycled objects, and they require students to see everyday objects in new, creative ways.  The sculptures are now on display in the glass cases near the front entrance of PHS.  Stop by and check out this great display of current student artwork.
