“I've noticed changes in how I think and approach things concerning my everyday life. I brainstorm a lot now and never cancel out any idea. This class isn't easy because it will challenge you mentally.” —Matt Almonte 2010
“She (Ms. Reinerio) began pushing me to do original, creative work, and I began to put a lot more effort and brainpower into my work. So instead of just turning in work I didn’t care about, I began being very satisfied with it, and even showed it to my friends and family. Graphic arts did not only teach me how to put together a creative, emotional piece of work, but it also taught me to take more pride in my work.” —David Marchetti S09
“This class helped me improve problem solving and critical thinking skills and this greatly affected how I did in other classes, being more alert and aware of what the thinking process 'really is', breaking it down and pushing out every possibility no matter how crazy it might sound.” —Enrique Cabrera 2014
“What I’ve learned in this class, I couldn’t have possibly learned anywhere else. It gives students a real taste of how a career could be, not necessarily in the arts, but how valid it is to be prompt, sufficient, patient, and dedicated.” —Rebecca Lee S09
“Looking back at my experience in Graphics, I've come to realize that I learned a lot about professionalism. I can honestly say that after taking this class I am more career-ready.

“I think it's safe to say that graphics with Ms. Reinerio was literally like a job but in a classroom setting. Not only did this class teach me how to manage my time better, it made me a much more responsible person.” —Rebhi Oweis 2014
