In addition to the many changes surrounding regular school activities, the fine arts department has undergone major revisions as well. Though largely in-person, many of the school’s fine arts programs have had to jump through major hoops to allow their students to partake in normal classes and events.

Theatre director Heather Willingham has done a lot of adjusting for her students and their curriculum.

“It’s gotten trickier since in a lot of my classes, we have some people who are face-to-face, and some people that are virtual,” theatre director Heather Willingham said. “And so it’s tricky making sure that one group does not feel disenfranchised, doesn’t feel like they’re being forgotten. So I have to make sure that I’m really paying attention and that I am not spending too much time with the people online, and then ignoring my people that are right in the audience, and also that I don’t ignore my online people while i’m working face-to-face. Other than that, it’s going good. The students gave a great attitude about it and everyone is just being patient with each other.”

Junior Liam Piper thinks the fine arts are doing a good job given the current circumstances.

“I think the fine arts over virtual learning have been going as well as can be expected, even with the circumstances with lag over Zoom and lag over the Internet,” Piper said. “However, the teachers have been doing as good of a job as they can to ensure that everyone has an adequate learning environment. So in general, I think it’s going as well as can be expected.”
