To emphasize the need to develop our students' talents across the WHOLE curriculum, here are examples of our science students, who have also spent significant time pursuing and developing their artistic talent. In these hard economic times too often cuts are made in the arts. These works are strong evidence for educators and communities to insist on maintaining a full and meaningful curriculum!!
Kyrie chose for her AP Art portfolio to produce digital renderings of the story behind foxes in Japanese folklore. Currently, Kyrie is a student in the Forensics course. She has taken four years of science in Bronxville, the "Core", our half year Freshman and Sophomore science courses (Core Chemistry Honors, Core Physics Honors, Core Biology Honors and Core Earth Science), and Biology II Honors. Kyrie has also taken AP courses in AP English Literature.

Three things that I though was interesting in this article was learning about tha topic of Kyrie's AP Art pieces, and that she used part of her heritage to make some unbelieveable pieces. Also that her artistic talent could prove to be a career as a criminal sketch artist in the future. (Tht's her decision though). Two things I think the article could have improved on would be its length. Maybe talking a bit more about the folklore of foxes because I am quite interested in that. Also maybe connecting her talent to forensics in some way. One thing I was very impressed about in the article was the photos of Kyrie's drawing. She clearly has immense talent and should definately pursue her talents further.
