How to manage stress on and off the stage
By ISabella F. Whether it is a school play, concert for an arts class, or a dance recital, performing for an audience can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Here at Airport High School there are many opportunities to step on stage with our art department. This means that stress for performers can build before, during, and after a performance.

Red flag or white flag? Friend or enemy? How to avoid frenemy territory
A 2023 Pew Research Center survey found that 53% of U.S. adults report having between one and four close friends, 38% say they have five or more, and 8% admit to having none at all. If these numbers hold true for students at AHS, this makes me think that students have far fewer friends than we realize--and of those friends, how many are genuine versus fake? Being in a fake friend’s territory can be scary. But after having an experience with a fake friend once before, I’ll be

How to start your dread journey
By Marvin P. and Kam B. Many people could say, “Hair could tell a story,” and personally, I agree. Some might even argue that dreads hold the most memories. Dreads, or locs, are a personal statement and, for many of us, a cultural connection. As a high school senior who’s been through the awkward phases, the “Give up” or “They’re so ugly” comments, and the moments of wanting to quit, I get it. But trust us—they can change a person, and if you want to change, tap into our arti

Mastering strategy games: what they are, how to begin, and how to improve your skills
By Bryan W. What is a strategy game?: Strategy is a genre of games where players use decision-making, planning, and tactics. Unlike other games which might rely on luck such as Candy Land, strategy games are entirely about skill and using your brain. Find a strategy game: Strategy games aren’t for everyone.

How to NOT give criticism
By Jahmarcus W. Hiya folks! You know giving criticism? That thing where you actually give a work a fair shake, with an open mind and respect for what the creator was trying to do? Yeah… that’s totally rampant in the community. People have definitely been giving everything the respect it deserves, never dismissing animations as “just for kids” and therefore Oscar-ineligible, or knocking a game’s score because the reviewer couldn’t get past the tutorial level, or writing somet

How to become better at art
By Jailyn R. For years now, I've seen people tracing art, using AI, or stealing art and claiming it as their own, when people can create their own masterpieces simply by practicing their skills and growing their experiences as an artist.

I know how hard it can be to do art because I have been doing art for most of my life, and it ha

How to clean a deer
By Harper M. Although deer hunting season is complicated and differs based on the type of weapon one uses and where in the state the hunting is taking place, for licensed adults, the season began on October 11. But deer season isn’t all about killing. The work doesn’t stop after the deer is harvested; there’s the cleaning and processing that still need to happen.
