Art and Design High School Seniors partnered with The G Foundation for the Feminine Hygiene Products Drive. The G Foundation aids refugees and immigrants with access to menstrual products. Globally it is estimated that 500 million women and girls lack access to basic menstrual products, a situation also known as "period poverty".
With the support of our young professionals, staff and their families, we were able to raise over 15 bags of menstrual products, surpassing last year's donation. This is our second year supporting this initiative.

Great Job Art and Design and its community for its continued support and leaving a positive footprint on the earth.

“He really struck me as an elegant man who worked with a calm and graceful focus.”

Now on view at The New York Historical, James Harrington's The Conductor imbues its subject with an air of the visionary. A series of nested rectangles formed by the canvas and train window enshrine this man, who gazes off-frame in a style often used in portraits of political leaders. Streaks of rain also guide our eye toward him.

Such honorific treatment of individuals encountered during his daily life lies at the core of Harrington’s artistic practice.

Posted @withregram • @artanddesigntoons On Monday, Mr. Lassen’s Junior Cartoonists were exhibited at the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse in partnership with the Justice Resource Center and the federal court system. Their 3D illustrations tell the story of three distinct copyright AI cases, the legacy of important figures in judicial history and the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. One of the cases includes Sarah Anderson of Sarah Scribbles while another one of the court cases had the federal appeal judges who are hearing the case there to enjoy their work!

Plus this summer one of our students who did a 3D stamp of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor will get to meet the Justice in person!

Posted @withregram • @artanddesigntoons On Monday, Mr. Lassen’s Junior Cartoonists were exhibited at the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse in partnership with the Justice Resource Center and the federal court system. Their 3D illustrations tell the story of three distinct copyright AI cases, the legacy of important figures in judicial history and the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. One of the cases includes Sarah Anderson of Sarah Scribbles while another one of the court cases had the federal appeal judges who are hearing the case there to enjoy their work!

Posted @withregram • @nycschools Shout out to Avery for showing us how she makes kimbap during our #AAPIHeritageMonth Celebration! 😄

Sharing food helps us share our cultures, and we’re so grateful for students like Avery for reminding us how powerful these connections can be.

Happy #AAPIHeritageMonth!

Our students stepped into the shoes of professional bridge design engineers in this exciting hands-on project! Working in collaborative teams of 3-4, students used real trigonometry skills to solve engineering problems just like industry professionals.

What they did:
• Used clinometers and shadow measurements to calculate building heights

•Applied trigonometric ratios in real-world scenarios

• Worked together to determine bridge tower specifications

•Practiced precision measuring - because in engineering, accuracy saves lives!

Students discovered how math connects directly to career opportunities, experiencing a realistic $95,000 salary job interview process. From measuring shadows in the courtyard to calculating cable lengths for bridge construction, our future engineers proved that trigonometry isn't just classroom theory - it's the foundation of the structures that connect our world!
