The Show Must Go On
A Virtual Reality Gallery created by the 2020 Digital Art students
When school suddenly closed with little warning, we all had to adapt to a new way of doing things quickly. Normally, we would have held a live showing of student work, but with the COVID-19 global pandemic, that option was no longer viable.
The students enrolled in Digital Art truly stepped up and created this virtual gallery from a virtual classroom. They worked in four exhibition teams (curatorial, designers, installers, and publicists) using Google Slides to communicate and make decisions together. The installers used the program Artsteps to design and install all of the works for the Empathy Portraits exhibit. These students had to problem solve, think creatively, ask questions, make decisions, and persist to ensure their work could still be shared and enjoyed by the public.
After the Digital Art students made the gallery and installed their work, we opened up the gallery to other classes to also display their work from the 2019-2020 school year. Please enjoy exploring this space and feel free to leave a comment for the students in Artsteps (scroll below the gallery).

Oh The Places We Know: Lansing through the eyes of the students 12/12/2019, At the Lansing Library
The Lansing High school digital art students created panoramic images from places around Lansing that have meaning to them and our community. In class they used their newly developed Photoshop skills to stitch together 5-7 individual photos into a panoramic. The result of their efforts is the beautiful artwork we have displayed at the Lansing Library and now on this archive. Enjoy the show!
The selected works were chosen based on a general theme and if it was clearly shown, significance in community, clickable location on Google Maps, effort without many mistakes and a representation of natural beauty outside or inside.

Through the Lens: Theme Edition 12/10/19
@Bobcat Artist's Gallery in LHS
Each photography student selected one of many themes to base their project off of. The exhibition features various work learned in these first few weeks of photography class. There were many technical skills to choose from when planning out this project, for example: low or high shutter speed, panning, zoom burst, composition, shallow or wide depth of field etc. The class was given a list of single words and phrases and were told to select one theme that they desired to photograph. Every student’s work follows a metaphorical theme of exploring and portraying a symbolic relationship of their selected theme, to photography.
The works were selected by portraying an evocative and highly engaging variety of photos that demonstrated the selected theme. The pictures had to included a literal and non literal representation of the theme. The photos needed to show technical skills learned in photography class. The pictures had to have a high quality and could be edited in Lightroom and properly exported from Lightroom.

(Im)permanence 10/26/2019
@Bobcat Artist's Gallery in LHS
The works in the art exhibition comment on the elements of “permanence vs. impermanence”. This comes from concepts of the instability of the environment and the loss or creation of identity. These concepts were explored over the summer by each artist. Those artists who focused upon environmental inquiries, put their efforts into illustrating the environment’s susceptibility to degradation and change. Identity based artists aimed to convey how developing one’s identity is a never ending process, yet it can be erased with ease.
