Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably noticed all the colorful student-designed murals decorating our campus and website.

“My paper frog can backflip. Boing!” Henry in 4th grade proudly said. The National Art Honor Society hosted its first-ever Origami Night on April 13th after school for students from K to 5. Over fifty people packed the dorm lobby, eager to bring paper to life. 
Jung laughs over her early years of being an artist while taking a quick coffee break: "I had so much fun during those early years - that being said, the earlier moments of my career are like high school for me. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't want to trade my current self and the lessons I learned along the way for my naive self!" Photo by Jade Lee.

It’s practically ingrained in society: popular cram school tutors urge their overworked students to drag their pencils or pens across their thighs if they're feeling tired. Even the pandemic was unable to stop this manic craze behind the Korean idea of success. Quarantined students took the Suneung, the Korean SAT, in their hotels to avoid "being left behind".

2022 SKAC Spring Fine Arts Festival Goes Live

Jane Nam, Grace Chae, and Jade Lee May 25, 2022
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.
