Design thinking is a problem-solving approach that emphasizes understanding user needs, ideation, prototyping, and testing. It originated in design but has since been widely adopted in various industries. The process typically involves empathizing with users, defining the problem, ideating potential solutions, prototyping, and testing those solutions. This iterative approach encourages creativity and collaboration, aiming to find innovative solutions that address users’ needs. Creativity meets technology in this Grade 11 Community Arts project to address local community needs and global challenges. For this innovative initiative, students in Mr. Galang’s class explored the intersection of arts and technology and apply design thinking methodologies to craft imaginative solutions. #showdonttell #communityarts #designthinking Please click on the link in the bio to view all four video pitches.

Despite the noise, our Media Arts students always look forward to creating, sharing and celebrating their works at our school. Our mission to integrate art, design and technology is what makes Media Arts different. Bring it on semester 2. #ShowDontTell 🚫🧢 😤 @sacredmediaartscouncil @sacred_artscouncil

Sacred Heart’s Media, Photography and Visual Arts classes (iRAP and Comprehensive) are proud to announce that 7 students will be participating in this year’s @nacca_newmarket’s #BlackHistoryMonth Arts exhibition. Ranging from a photography installation, skateboard design and a drawing and a painting, these works are a testament that young people can tell their stories and writing their histories through art and design. The show will run from Feb. 3- 29 at the Newmarket Old Town Hall. Come by and check out the amazing works of art. Art by (in order of carousel): Gracie B.

Our iRAP & Comprehensive Gr. 10 Media Arts recently completed their CPTs on Skateboard Graphics design. Our iRAP students focused on inclusive design for LGBTQ2S+ and non-binary skaters in conjunction with a community partner in @yorkskateboarding, while our Comp students completed their designs based on the concept of the “Villain Backstory” concept. Head on over to our site to see everyone’s work. #showdonttell
