Top 5 Reasons CG is the Coolest Class at MHS
1. It's Easy to Create Incredible Artwork
You don't have to have artistic talent to be successful. Many students who struggle in
regular art classes excel in CG.

- John Horine
"Photoshop makes it easy to create amazing things you would never be able to do by hand."
- Lou Prensky

We turn off the lights, put on some tunes, and simply just create.

- Lexi Fuller
"CG is total chill time. I can relax and design cool stuff while listening to great music with my friends. There’s no better way to run a class!"
