8B Aprl 2012 The Statement
A foot forward
After budget cuts left Detroit Community High School's
once-thriving art department struggling to accommodate
the high volume of students interested in creative study, the
school's partnership with Detroit Connections - an out-
reach program- offered through the University's School of Art
& Design - aimed to fill the gap. The collaboration spawned
BAM!, an after-school program led by Art and Design Junior
Neil Zemba centered around footwear design. Every Friday stu-
dents at Community High learn the fundamentals of footwear
design, complete a series of projects based on real-world design
prompts and scenarios, and compete in a national design com-
petition at the end of the semester.
