Spotlight on GrantsSpotlight on Grants is a new series we are publishing quarterly to provide our community with detailed information about how our grants are supporting, enriching and enhancing the educational experience for ALL at LFHS.
Think about art classrooms, maybe easels, oil paints and clay come to mind. But just as technology has transformed teaching and learning across so many disciplines, art in the digital age can be something entirely different. Our student’s opportunities to be creative and inventive have increased tremendously over the last decade.
Like many high schools, Lake Forest High School’s Fine and Applied Arts offerings are grounded in the tactile: wood and glass-making, sketching and painting, ceramics and sculpture. Young artists use their hands to create, and develop their eye for detail, for light and balance, for perfection. With the explosion of the digital arts, student artists also have the opportunity to learn how to bring their creations to life using technology as a tool. The Lake Forest High School Foundation has made significant investments over the years to make this possible, supporting the art teachers in creating professional environments for students interested in graphic design, photography, and animation while continuing to support the more traditional arts programs in their use of technology..
