We Are The Bulldogs |
Welcome to Brooklyn Junior! I hope you are excited to be called a bulldog! I am proud to say that we have a very dedicated and highly trained staff here at Brooklyn Junior. We look forward to guiding you in your exploration of art. We are also very happy to announce that our department has grown this year. We would like to welcome Mr. Gierhart to our team. Along with the required Art 7 and Art 8 offerings, we have a large number of elective courses for 9th grade. This year we will be offering Jewelry, Painting, Ceramics, and Design.
This year is especially exciting as we transform BJH into a STEAM Magnet school. Most people are familiar with the acronym STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) but not many understand the Meaning of STEAM. The added "A" represents the inclusion of the Arts (Visual art, Music, English, Language, etc.). This change has come about because the realization has been made that innovation and creative problem solving is required in the increasingly competitive global marketplace. The Arts foster Creativity and Innovation, and give students a place to synthesize and perform what they have learned while solving novel problems to more open ended questions with multiple solutions. |
Above is the Refreshed Bulldog logo that I worked on a couple of years ago. Gone is the digitized tongue and pixilated contours. The refreshed logo is a clean crisp vectored image. Vectored images are created using points on a grid, kind of like a dot to dot. Vectored images are often used because they can be scaled up with out losing their resolution(or sharpness). We are hoping to have a full redesign in the next year! Be on the look out for updates on my blog.
