As easy as pie
Everybody knows their grandma’s ol’ recipe. But here is a delicious twist, an easy blueberry cream pie for the busy teen. Enjoy! By Maria Kalaitzandonakes
Capers 2013
These are some of my photos from the 32nd annual RBHS Capers. I tried to get a photo or two of every act. Sorry if I missed a few; I was in the orchestra pit, so I couldn’t move. By Patrick Smith
Rain
A few nights ago, as it was cold and rainy, all I planned to do was sit inside. I’d spent hours studying for a math exam, and I wanted to get into bed and let someone else’s written words wash over me. I was drained, but as I hurried from my car door to my [...]
PET Project
An important part of being a member of a Boy Scout troop is participating in community service events and service projects to help the people around you. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Personal Energy Transportation project division in Columbia, Mo. The group is a great organization that builds [...]
Teaching with dry ice
Students in Mrs. Kathryn Weaver’s EEE class prepared a science project to do with RBHS’ community skills class’ students. They made a mixture of soap, water and dry ice … and quite a mess, but the resulting mixture is perfect for making fog and bubbles and demonstrating basic chemistry concepts. Photos by Aniqa Rahman
The intrigue of pointless photography
Some photography has a purpose — to portray truth, the beautiful along with the not-so-beautiful. Some photography tells stories, delving into the depths of human emotion and memory… and then there’s the photography that exists without purpose, simply because it can. Maybe there’s nothing useful about art photography, but there’s something about the process of [...]
A last look at Global Village
Global Village Week was filled with wonderful sights, sounds and smells. Look through these photos to see if there was a booth you wish you hadn’t missed. Please use arrows to navigate. By Patrick Smith
In which I take a walk
Have you ever noticed how much we look at our own shoes? We’ve learned to ignore them, but for this blog, I decided to pay a little more attention to my gool ol’ feet.
She’s a good egg
Even if you’re not a morning person, you should try out this easy breakfast quiche. Perfect way to start any day! By Maria Kalaitzandonakes
Nature fragile as glass
The snow and resulting snow-days this past week offered an excellent opportunity to explore through my camera lens. My subject was beautifully lit, yet a world blanketed in white doesn’t offer the most vibrant or colorful picture. On the contrary, the monochromatic nature of a snow day lends itself quite nicely to a study of [...]
Henna and hands
Global Village is here! The flags are up, the buzz is in the air and festivities have started. During B lunch and fourth hour today, a group of artists provided the kids of RBHS with intricate designs drawn in henna. By Paige Kiehl
Ya Bass
I like basses. I mean, in addition to the fact that I am one (hey choir kids), they really fill out the sound to any sort of music. They’ve got a monopoly on cool jazz walking lines and nice buzzy wub-wubs and seriously funky grooves. This particular bass, though, has a special place in my heart as [...]
Edible jewelry making
Tuesdays at the Intersection are usually spent doing activities in the kitchen, but this particular Tuesday, we had something a little different lined up. In the absence of our good friend, senior Rasheeq Nizam, core leader for Tuesdays at the Intersection, senior Stephen Turban decided to make Fruit Loop necklaces with the kids — or [...]
The big cheese
Mozzarella, Ricotta, Parmesan (oh my!): my first try at a difficult Italian dish. Attempting a classic — lasagna! By Maria Kalaitzandonakes
What is this?
I ventured around the art room and then to the performing arts wing with my guide, Sarah, to find the interesting nooks. Above are close ups of nine things we found. Can you tell me what they are?
All the pretty lights
For today’s photo blog, I decided to play around with long exposure: leaving a camera’s sensor open for much longer than a typical photograph would. Instead of 1/60 to 1/125 of a second as usual, I left the shutter open for 20 to 30 seconds, long enough to play around with what the camera thinks [...]
Let them eat cake
Learning to cook can be a challenge, but it can also be fun. Here is a first dessert attempt. By Maria Kalaitzandonakes
Dance crews take part in Golden Cow auditions
Golden Cow is an event that has historically taken place at RBHS. Today, hopeful participants had a chance to audition to be in the charity show. Large groups of students gathered outside Room 400, waiting to perform before the panel of judges. Though the judges turn away few groups in the process, it’s a good [...]
Overexposure
For this blog, I combined multiple variations of editing software to create a sort of eerie look to the photos. I set up my camera on a tripod and set my exposure time for 20 seconds on a day filled with sun. I adjusted the levels in Photoshop for different contrast effects. In a few [...]
Art students showcase talent at Columbia Art League
This past Thursday, the Columbia Art League downtown opened up a new exhibit of artwork that will be on display for the next month. The theme was “Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder”, and artists from around the city submitted their work to have the privilege to be on display and possibly even have [...]
