While art has always been a staple of high school electives, the art department at Aloha High School has served to give students a creative outlet and voice that many struggle to otherwise find. Over 1,000 students participate in at least one art class every year and 50 students are enrolled in at least one AP art course this year.

The majority of Aloha High School is made up of students of color, for nearly 40% of students English is a second or third language and over 60% of students come from families in poverty. Yet despite this, over half of the students participate in AP programs, we have both state and national championship teams and clubs, and our college readiness program AVID continues to grow.

The breadth and variety of our art program captures student interest and helps provide an outlet to shine which is always recognizable in our art shows, hallway displays, and classrooms. We are excited to be displaying work both finished and in progress, at iX18 highlighting student work with Adobe suite products (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Draw), the HTC Vive for virtual reality painting, and 3D printing. This project is helping finance the additional printing costs for the exhibit. We will be printing custom, student-designed stickers, providing Snapchat filters, displaying printed 2D and 3D artwork and students will be sharing in-process work on the iPad Pros, Macs and on the Makerbots.
