Ever since I was a young kid I have always been drawn to art.

What initially sparked your enthusiasm for your chosen discipline? What else are you involved in at JHS?

I initially chose art because I have always loved it. Ever since I was a young kid I have always been drawn to art. At Jesuit, I am also involved in the Art Club, the Environmental Justice and Sustainability Club, and I am a part of the cross country and track and field teams at Jesuit.

 

Could you share a specific experience that brought you joy in the Arts?

An experience that has brought me joy in the arts is working on my AP Drawing portfolio.

What project, artwork, or performance has made you feel the most proud?

A piece of artwork that has made me the most proud was my end-of-the-year project in Art 3 Honors; this was because it was my first time working on an art piece that was very large in size, and I was proud of how I managed to complete it.

Why would you encourage future students to join your Visual and Performing Arts Program at JHS?

I would encourage future students to join the Studio Art program at Jesuit because it allows you to stretch your imagination and incorporate your creativity in the classroom.
