While designing and building the huge writing utensil, students learned new techniques from a visiting expert from the High Museum of Art. In the spring, the arts focus shifted to Narrative Art. Inspiration for activities came from works by artists such as Faith Ringold, Diego Rivera, and Pablo Picasso. Teachers even took extra classes which inspired them to use stories, music, and quilting in their classroom settings. The activities extended students' creativity beyond the art room.
Works posted in the halls let students develop their own views.
As in past years, the Arts Council's activities continued to provide the school with creative outlets and new visions.
