MEHS Students Exhibit Art at the Coffee Hag

On Friday, May 17th students from Studio Arts 2 classes took a field trip to the Twin Cities.  The students visited the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in the afternoon and took in a wide variety of artwork.

 

The highlight of the trip was a morning visit to the Highpoint Center for Printmaking in Minneapolis.  This trip was funded, in part, by the Prairie Lakes Regional Arts council with an appropriation from the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the State’s general fund.

 

While there, students had the awesome opportunity to be a part of a printmaking workshop.  We learned the basic techniques and processes of monoprinting and were able to create two or three prints while there.  The process is fairly simple-  1.  Create a design using stencils.  2.  Add color using ink.  3.  Place on a plexiglass plate and press this design onto paper using a printmaking press.

 

Every student had great designs with awesome results!  The student’s work will be on display at the Coffee Hag from May 25th through June 5th with a reception May 31st at 7:00.

iPads Engage Learners

When Mr. Schlueter teaches his American Studies classes about westward expansion, books, iPads, a Smartboard, and even the old chalkboards in his classroom get put to use. In these pictures Mr. Schlueter's students hunted for information from reliable websites to learn how American pioneers pushed westward to settle throughout the United States territories. Students were completely engaged in the task at hand as they utilized iPads to access websites.
These students were using one of two iPad carts purchased for the Social Studies and counseling departments at Mankato East. We thank Educare for making this awesome resource available to our students.
 
 

Take Action >>>Live In Motion!!

The high school experience plays an important part in personal growth and development, lays the foundation for post-secondary options and prepares students for life beyond high school.
You have opportunities to meet new people and the responsibility to develop new skills and discover new interests. It is the expectation that each student take the responsibility to set goals, to choose classes and activities and try new things, understanding that failure is a mile marker on your path to success.
It is an expectation at Mankato East High School that all students and faculty embrace our motto and core values. The motto TAKE ACTION>>>LIVE IN MOTION, challenges each of us to pursue our goals and live out the core values as established in District 77 and adopted at Mankato East.
