After a productive day of Community Service, students took advantage of the wonderful weather and enjoyed a kickball game at River’s Edge Park.
For our fall Community Service Day students and faculty took to cleaning up the Greenway! They rolled up their sleeves and picked up trash between the Vic Thomas and River’s Edge Parks to help make our Roanoke green space neater and nicer for the next person to enjoy.
The group also had a chance for a Q&A session with Roanoke City Parks and Recreation about volunteering. Afterwards, they hung around the River’s Edge Park for a friendly game of kickball.
Environmental Science students identified and counted macroinvertebrate organisms gathered from Carvin Creek during their leaf pack study. They found lots of critters, including cranefly, stonefly, and dobsonfly larvae, as well as crawdads and clams and lots of snails! The students will use this data to assess stream quality and compare two different areas of the stream in terms of habitat conditions.
The students in 3D Modeling and Sculpture learned about basic geometry creation and manipulation in 3D space. Using a 3D art program blender they each created a photo composition in 3D, including custom objects that they created themselves. Individual vertices are manually placed, and extrapolated into Three Dimensional forms.
Students also learned about using virtual lights to give their scenes unique moods and appearances.
Finn is very proud of how his students have gone above and beyond in these first projects, noting that the outcomes speak for themselves.
Members of our Zine Club traveled to Richmond with Olchar to attend ZineFest, where our students could sell or trade the zines they’ve created here at school.
The Environmental Science class took advantage of the beautiful weather last week to work on identifying native trees in the CHS yard and sketch in their field journals.
Our Zine Club traveled to Richmond for ZineFest 2023, and were joined by two Class of 2022 alumni members, Jay S and Charlie A.
Artistry becomes a lot more difficult without the use of curves! Geometry students were asked to practice using points, lines, and angles to come up with original drawings.
