This video was a serious group effort. Emi and our young emcees, Kimani, Darius and Malik, worked diligently in the music lab to come up with the song.  Miss Jill taught everyone how to make a storyboard and plan the video.  And the amazing Arin worked with a revolving crew of young filmmakers to produce this beautiful video.  Great work everyone!  Stay Rappin.

On Saturday, April 21, 2012, we attended a Broadway show called Black Angels Over Tuskegee with the BCCP. It was an amazing opportunity to learn about the Tuskegee Airmen who were African American pilots during World War II.  I thought the show gave great historical background during the war. One of my favorite parts of the play was how most of the men kept secrets. One of the men was married, another brought records along with him, and lastly another one had these epileptic attacks out of nowhere. The significance of the play was to let the audience and myself know that everybody is equal and can become whatever they want. The whole point was you shouldn’t judge somebody by their color or how they look. It is the inside that really matters.

Did you know that weathercasters don’t actually see the map behind them? They stand in front of a blue or green screen and the weather forecasts are incorporated afterwards. Here is Whitman’s weathergirl Miah having some fun with the weather. We also have a lesson in Jamaican slang right before we are magically transported to Jamaica for the quickest dance party in history. Finally, the Whitman crew drives through the Hollywood Hills spotting celebrities. Anything is possible with a blue screen!

The students of New Utrecht High School act out scenarios of unnecessary violence and STOP! it from continuing. Their message is clear. You have the power to stop violence, whether you are in a violent situation or a bystander witnessing something that is not right. You have the power to make a change.

The students at New Utrecht High School learned about making collages in the photographic tradition of David Hockney. We have also been working a lot on stop motion animation. In this piece, we combined elements of both collage and stop motion.

These butterflies were sent to The Holocaust Museum in Texas where the butterflies will eventually compose a breath-taking exhibition scheduled in the Spring of 2014. They will be put up in a gallery where everyone can notice all that has passed away.
