We have really exciting news!  Kings High School made it to the Top 50 in the Vans Custom Culture Competition for the second year in a row.  

Seniors Zoe Rodriguez, Kelly Madison, and Emily Douglass entered the competition this year.  They designed and created a pair of custom Vans for each of the 4 categories, Art, Music, Action Sports, and Local Flavor.  Once they completed the shoes, they photographed their shoes and uploaded them to be judged.   Then VANS had their judges narrow down the submissions from the original 1000 to the top 50, 10 from each of 5 regions.  WE FOUND OUT TODAY THAT KINGS IS IN THE TOP 50.  So now the judging begins today.  Kings has to beat the 9 other schools in the NORTHEAST region and we will be in the TOP 5 schools which will travel to NYC for the exclusive final event in May. The grand prize winner will receive $50,000 and each runner up will receive $4,000 for their school's art program. 

Here is where you come in.  We are only allowed to cast one vote per IP address.  That means only one vote for the entire school district, since we only have 1 IP address for the whole district with SWOCA.  So we need you to vote from home and on any Smartphone using a 3G or 4G data package.  And if you are anywhere with free wifi should have its own IP address as well, so vote at Starbuck, Panera, etc…  And then help us blow this up on Facebook, Twitter, and email the link out to your whole address book.  Here it is!

The shoes will also be in the display cases in the main hallway at KHS for you check out!  Voting ends on May 13th.  Thanks so much for all your help and support!

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

By Anonymous
      Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
