Perhaps the best thing I have experienced in the DRHSART Program is the freedom to develop my own personal visual voice. Starting freshman year, I began exploring different mediums. I started off with graphite, charcoal, watercolor, and acrylic paint. As I progressed through the program, I continued to explore different mediums and styles until I arrived at my current style. Today, I utilize magazine collage as the base of my paintings. Once I have painted all the layers, I sand down bits and pieces of my work to reveal the hidden layers of paint and magazine.
Throughout my entire four years in the art program, I have been invested in my art. Last year I had to pick up the pace to meet my goal of submitting a Scholastic portfolio and have enough art for a senior show. Last summer, I worked hard to create three quality pieces of work to be submitted in my Scholastic portfolio. These three pieces are what really allowed me to meet my goal of submitting a portfolio and having a senior show. If I had to re-live this past year, I would work a little harder during the last semester so that I would have more art from this year. I am most proud of my art show followed by my gold key Scholastic portfolio. My senior show was my most memorable experience. There, I enjoyed showing off my work to my fellow peers and community. As I leave Deep Run High School, I leave the future students of the program with a few tips: 1) work on summer work early – do not procrastinate 2) take your work seriously 3) never waste time in class.
