Following last year's successful pilot, our Gateway 9 afterschool program has welcomed back Ms. Ali Nebel from Massachusetts College of Art and Design to lead our math enrichment group in various adventures in math-themed artmaking. This past week, our students delved into charcoal drawing techniques, using as their common subject a landscape of 3-D geometrical figures that they had built the previous week. After the vacation, the class will explore life figure drawing.
Stay tuned for our end-of-the-year exhibition of the students' work!
All Gateway students who are interested in exploring the visual arts are encouraged to check out MassArt's spring Saturday Studios program, which is accepting registrations right now for the eight-week session starting March 6. Program information and application materials are available here. Partial scholarships may be available, depending upon your family's financial need.
Afterschool Artmaking
Medical Science on Campus and in the Workplace
On February 2, several Gateway students took advantage of great opportunities to learn about medical and scientific careers, by visiting local workplaces and institutions of higher education.
Five Gateway freshmen and sixteen Gateway juniors participated in the annual PIC Job Shadow Day, in which each student was matched with a host professional at workplaces throughout the city.
Later on the same day, an enterprising group of (mostly) Gateway sophomores led by Meghan Comeau traveled to Boston University to meet with Dean Glen Zamansky, who directs undergraduate premedical advising at BU.
Special thanks to Ms. Style for accompanying our students on both of these career explorations!
