Summer Fine Art Academy students get intense art enrichment

The Pine Bush High School Summer Fine Art Academy gave students interested in art an opportunity to do more in-depth projects and use newer techniques in the nearly three-week academy.

A group of 18 high school students, all wearing purple shirts and tan pants or shorts. They are in two rows, the front squating down. They are all holding certificates in front of them.

Julie Palinkas taught the program with assistance from new graduate Georgia Camacho. Students worked with stencils, creating them, cutting them and making different works of art from them.

A female high school student dressed in a purple shirt and black shorts kneels on the ground over a large piece of art she is working on.

They also worked with the STEM Academy – the STEM students showed them how to use the 3D printer and the art students showed STEM how to ink them.

A high school student with long dark hair tied back in a poytail uses a paintbrugh to create a piece of art. She is wearing a blue face mask and earbuds.

The days began at 7:30 a.m. and ended at 3 p.m.- it was art all day long! “You chose to come to summer school for enrichment. It makes us really proud of all of you,” said PBHS Principal Aaron Hopmayer.

A high school student points at a piece of art on a wall and smiles as a woman takes her picture with a phone. A male high school student holds a certificate and shakes the hand of a man. Both are wearing purple shirts
