During Art Week, which took place during the week of March 10, students and faculty had the opportunity to express their talent and creativity through many interactive and fun forms of art. With the help of the National Art Honor Society, Art Week consisted of daily themed outfits—from wearing superhero t-shirts to dressing up like Bob Ross—workshops like the Bob Ross paint-along and the Bansky printmaking workshop and bake sales with treats inspired by famous artworks, like “Great Wave” cupcakes and “happy little tree” brownies. The art department, the NAHS and the Artisan club all worked hand in hand to successfully host Art Week, not only to express their devotion to art, but also to make art feel alive and to appreciate the influence it has.
“My favorite part of Art week is just helping and seeing students who usually aren’t too interested in the arts really getting into whatever workshop or activity is planned,” NAHS Vice president Theodora Doukas said.
As Art Week featured many events, it also contributed to students’ appreciation of the arts and was an opportunity for students who may not already be comfortable with art to get involved. It showcased a variety of styles and mediums helping students see that art is for everyone.
“The exposure to these different aspects of art broadens their understanding and appreciation of artistic expression,” Art Department Chairperson Dr. Marino said. “When an entire school celebrates creativity together, it fosters school pride and a shared appreciation for the arts, making students feel connected and valued.”
“Having a whole week, highlighting artists and putting on workshops to keep the memory and recognize the achievement of artists all around the world is one of the reasons why Art Week is so great,” sophomore Zahra Mazkur said.
“By celebrating art in school, we’re not just recognizing its value—we’re inspiring future artists, designers, and innovators,” NAHS adviser Ms. Stabile said. “Art matters, and Art Week is our chance to show just how powerful creativity is!”
