The Financial District is known for its day traders and office workers. But, I wanted

to focus on the people who make the neighborhood their home. There

is an increasing number of young couples buying their first homes and

starting families.

For the design, I took photos of the neighborhood and found some interesting patterns

and landmarks. I tried to find a balance between commerce and family

life by using a muted natural color palette and choice of type. The

geometric patterns represent the energy of the neighborhood.

In this project the students were directed to the Nobel lecture speech by Harold Pinter where he criticized the U.S. for its foreign policies. They contrasted this with a parody "roast" that the comedian Stephen Colbert gave at the press core dinner in Washington DC. The results were odd, stunning, and let to interesting discussion in class.

Student work where they had to script and then present how to make a simple food item (such as potato salad) using only words and gestures. This may be my favorite.

Some more student art that I missed or has recently been added. Last year's Senior class memorial to Ms. Ford. She was a music teacher and died unexpectedly.
