WHAT IS MULTI-MEDIA CLASS? Argina Horn ‘15 writes, “Multimedia is a hands-on course that applies publishing and presentation concepts to the development of business documents and projects. Several publishing programs are taught and practical application assignments are given. Among these were the creation of magazine covers. Other projects involve the production of a talk show and a radio show using a variety of mediums. The basics of digital photography coupled with photo editing software such as Photoshop are introduced.”
Staff Spotlight: Jacqualyn (Stevenson) Stancin ‘02
After graduating Mrs. Stancin attended the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign majoring in art education (BFA). She later received a MA in art education. Of why she is glad to be back she writes, “I have so many memories from high school. I married my high school sweetheart Ed and we are expecting a baby boy later this October. During the past three years at St. Ben’s I have been working to develop a rigorous art program for the Elementary students that extends beyond arts and crafts. Each unit is a thematic unit that features connections to other academic areas, themes, and thought provoking pieces of famous art to enrich students’ artistic learning. My main goal is to allow students exploration of these ideas through a fine arts hands on experience. This year one of my goals is to incorporate technology throughout each student’s art experience because many contemporary artist now work with technology on a daily basis.
