1. Ryan Schackel (11) uses a glass cutting machine to refine his project: a plate made from sheets of glass that are fused together in the kiln. Glass is a year-long elective with Mr. Matson, where students learn to work over the flame as well as with the kiln. Grace Bhagat (9) is also in Glass, and she loves “crafting and shaping the glass as well as being able to create pieces of art that reflect your own unique aesthetic.”
2. Jocelyn Galvan (9) creates a branch to which she will later attach colored leaves while flameworking. Being able to express your individuality is a unique aspect of the arts. Jocelyn is intrigued by “the variation of each piece, and the creativity that you channel when you try making something new.”
3. Milan Pandey (11) plays the trombone in Jazz Band and Wind Symphony, both led by Mr. Mabeza. Being a part of any band requires sincere dedication in order to wake up early every morning, but Milan doesn’t mind because he gets to do what he loves: playing music. Music helps students further become a part of the Priory community, and Milan credits Wind Symphony with “really helping me get to know some interesting people, including seniors” throughout his freshman year.
4. Halinda Yu (9) sketches the view from the Fine Arts rooms, overlooking the trees and hills that hug the Priory campus. In the Drawing and Painting class, students learn to create landscapes and manipulate carefully placed shadows to make objects look three dimensional. Halinda enjoys “participating in drawing projects and working as a group with other students.”
5. Finished blown glass pieces stand on a shelf displayed in the art building. The new STREAM building will be finished soon, and all visual arts classes will be able to enjoy the newly created, spacious environment. Makena Serughetti (9) is looking forward to “having a bigger room to work in and using all the new tools.”
6. Victor Arroyo-Villa (10) sings a solo for Concert Choir at the Fall Concert. The Fall Concert theme was “Something Wicked This Way Comes” and it featured all of Priory’s amazing music ensembles. Victor describes Priory Arts as an environment where “everyone is always so excited and full of energy.”
