Art
At the High School of Telecommunication Arts and Technology, a rich arts program with a strong studio and performance component is essential to our students' academic and personal growth. Our visual arts studio curriculum emphasizes self reflection and social commentary and includes Studio Art, Mixed Media, Drawing, Printmaking, 3D Design, and Fashion, among other courses. Our students work with a variety of media including pencil, charcoal, watercolor, collage, pastel, linoleum, and ink print. Students display their work in both a Winter and Spring Showcase. Courses that provide students with art technology experience in both our computer labs and classrooms supplied with laptops include Digital Photography, Digital Music, and Yearbook. Performance based courses include Keyboard, Guitar, and Dance. Student dances and music are also showcased in the Spring and Fall Arts Shows in our state-of-the-art auditorium. Currently, we have a partnership with the Morgan Library, wherein all our 9th graders work on designing, illustrating and binding their own books in the style of ancient texts. These books are created by hand in their English classes. We also have a longstanding collaboration with the Theater Development Fund (TDF) and the New York Theater Workshop (NYTW). Yearly, students visit museums and theaters across NYC with their art classrooms. In the last few years, we have developed yearly senior art projects for our graduating cohorts that include murals and other various projects on display throughout our building.
