On May 18th, the National Art Honors Society (NAHS) held a virtual version of the SKAC Spring Fine Arts Festival. The Fine Arts Festival was originally an event where art and music students from all SKAC schools would display their talents for everyone to get a glimpse of. Unfortunately, the festival has been forgotten due to the sudden pandemic, but NAHS’ attempt to bring back the tradition of hosting the festival was successful. Early on, throughout the school year, the society sent an invitation to other SKAC schools asking them if the fine arts departments of other schools would be willing to participate, despite the sudden invite. 

The uncanny valley is a negative emotional response towards robots, dolls, mannequins, or avatars that appear close to but not quite human. Experts have found a positive correlation between the liking of artificial agents with how humanlike they look, but only to a certain extent: when the graphic looks “almost like” a human, but has awkward expressions or movements, people are appalled by it. However, the uncanny valley can be bridged together again when the visual becomes extremely realistic.

Everyone has a special routine that they stick to each night. Personally, I usually watch some interesting videos and eat food before I hit the hay. However, other people might have different ways to use their time before they sleep. We, the Jets Flyover, decided to ask people what they do before sleep. We went around the campus and got some interesting answers from the DIS community. Let’s go check it out.
