This year's Art Class is taught once again by Mr. David Stallings. Stallings has been teaching for 15 years and resides in Denver. When he is not at Summer Honors he teaches, makes films, and bicycles. When asked to describe the Art class's project, Stallings summarizes, "This year we are creating an animated film. The students will write an original story, animate it with cells and background paintings, then photograph the images on 16mm film". Although the description alone is somewhat specific, you cannot fully understand SHP Art without knowing about the individuals that make up the class. This page is designed to do just that. Enjoy!
