Student Enrichment Photos
With help from our VISTA worker, Tricia, and great LAB Enrichment Volunteers, students have been developing their photographic eye with digital cameras. Through scavenger hunts that get students to explore both outside and inside, challenges to find “juxtaposition” and “texture,” and peer interviews using digital video cameras, Lab students have generated a lot of impressive work.
See The Full Photo Series

Art Cards with Art Car Heather
These cool "art cards" were created by students at the Highland Sr. High Enrichment. The experience was guided by our Guest Artist, Art Car Heather!
