    Students, since they must know the latest technologies, will have as their cutting edge their experiences of creativity. I believe this is formed by their understanding, analyzing, observing, and hands-on experience of the fine arts. Also necessary is the knowledge of what other artists have created. by the study of art history. It is a principle of mine to bring the students to a range of cultural and art resources in New York City.

    On October 24th, 2019, the HS students came to tour the HIVE from 10 am – 2pm yesterday. I also thank you for your flexibility in accommodating the 40 students who showed up, when only 25 were confirmed. The day of activities in the HIVE, the TV Production Studio, the Fab Lab and the Engineering lab, concluded with an admissions presentation. Each senior was provided application information and an application fee waiver code (Thank you Luis, Marcelle and Karen). I have all HS attendee information including email addresses, and will follow up with a thank you to each and an offer for more information about our programs.
