This year, 33 Trinity Blazers visually expressed their stance in the world through their artwork. The students are enrolled in a two year art course that focuses on developing the artistic mind through the study of art history, aesthetics and studio work. The students are familiarized with a range of two and three dimensional media their junior year and then explore their individual areas of research during their senior year. 
 
The focus and topic of their work is depicted and illustrated throughout their portfolio. At the end of the two year course, students have extensive portfolios and an investigation book documenting each artist’s journey along the way. 
 
Most of the student’s created artwork based on how the world is viewed through the eyes of a teenage girl in today’s society.
