Regents Review Spring '18

The Regents Review Spring 2018

DEPARTMENTAL NEWS Creative Arts Art This term we teamed up with the Science department for a spectacular cross-curricular event, studying biology, the anatomy and physics through observational drawing and painting as well as understanding how the two areas go hand in hand within day to day life. We looked at Leonardo Da Vinci as an example and emulation of how vital a creative-thinking brain is in the wider world, showing how to solve problems, work independently and improve intuitive thinking.
