This year, Mr. Kasper, BHS art teacher, started a murals class. This class has students drawing and painting pieces of art for teachers around the school.
We wanted to ask him a few questions about the class, and here are his responses.
Q: What made you decide to start this class?
A: I had taken a college course online about environmental art, and I thought it would be a good idea to bring art to the district.
Q: Are you happy with how the class went this semester? Also, are you happy with the interaction from the class?
A: I am happy with how the class is set up. I think that students need to realize the importance of independence in a class like this. Sometimes, there is too much independence.
Q: What are some of the ideas that the teachers wanted in their rooms?
A: Murals that brought up their subject matter or personal interests.
Q: What are you going to change in this class going forward?
A: I would like to add a little bit of art history to it to show examples of famous murals and what they mean.
Q: Do you have any exciting plans for next semester?
A: I have to contact the faculty to see if anyone wants murals into their room and find a way to continue unfinished murals.
Q: Was there a specific type of mural you want to see more of?
A: I would like to see more large scale murals in public places.
Q: What students have stood out as exceptional?
A: Savannah David, Gisell Moreno, Kayla Schillinger, and Alexis Smeznik
Q: Do you want to have this class next year?
A: Definitely!
