In the AHA senior internship class, seniors go out into the arts community once a week and intern for three hours. The other 4 days of the week they are in a one hour class where they learn different skills in the arts and how to navigate life as an artist or just basic work skills needed for life after high school. Here are a few samples of student exploration with film. All seniors made 3 minute films. Last week we hosted our first AHA film festival and showed 10 student films with popcorn, pizza and chips. Fun was had by all. Thanks Mr. Cagan and Ms. B.

Here is an incredibly cool project where AHA seniors were able to create art to commemorate the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Student art was used to wrap an AC transit bus that travels the 1 line from Berkeley to San Leandro. Thanks ACOE (Louise Music) and AC Transit for including AHA in such a lovely project. If you see the bus cruising around please email us a snapshot to post on this blog. email= ahabhs@ymail.com
