Hassan, a graphic artist who works in Greensboro, and a team of educators from the
Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) have been working with
students in a number of classes at Reynolds High School.
The
participating classes are math classes taught by Allison George, Art I classes taught
by Emily Beach-Munday, an Advanced Studio Class taught by Amy Cruz and a
Digital E-Media class taught by Phil Benenati.
“On
the first day with students, Hassan spoke with students about her work as a
graphic designer and students created their own patterns using various supplies,”
said Beach-Munday. “On the second visit, students in each class collaborated to
come up with class patterns which were then printed on a long strip of canvas
using a PVC roller. These patterns are being turned into wallpaper that is
being printed by North Carolina company Spoonflower. The wallpaper will be hung
at SECCA in collaboration with their ongoing graphic arts exhibit. Students
will visit the museum this month to see their final creations on exhibit and to
discuss patterns and printing techniques of wallpaper in the Hanes house as
well as current graphic arts and printing techniques in the modern exhibit in
the museum.
“I
was pleased to see how the collaboration all came together. Students are
excited about the upcoming trip to SECCA and to see how their hard work all
paid off in the end.”
