Visual & Media Arts Clubs

Art Club

The Art Club is a forum for students who are interested in expressing their creativity and would like to have hands-on experience in various forms of artistic media. The club, which is open to students of all grade levels, meets weekly after school. The Art Club works on group projects guided by the Art Department Chairwoman and/or outside art groups. The club also provides the opportunity to work on independent projects under the tutelage of the moderator.

Students'works are showcased in the IHS Festival of the Arts. Some of the projects the club has created include rain barrel construction and decoration (in collaboration with Rutgers Cooperative Extension), posters to decorate a wing of Children's Hospital, t-shirt designs for various events, a public wall mural in conjunction with Combat Paper/NJ Print Center, and participation in the Arts on Division Festival in Somerville, NJ.

Moderator: Mr. Cavanagh


Photography Club

No previous knowledge is required. Students gather to share digital photographs and learn about how to take a successful and meaningful picture. Photographic mobile device applications and their advantages are explored, as well as Adobe Photoshop software as an enhancement and special effects tool. Scheduled photo shoots in the digital arts studio are an exciting addition as students have access to professional lighting and camera equipment. Students in the past have won awards at gallery exhibits and received scholarships. All inquiries for involvement may be e-mailed directly to Mr. DeVito at [email protected].
