I have an amazing idea for a story. I'm going to do a piece about unexpected artists. You know the type, the hyper kid who can't sit still, the football player who hardly shows up to class, the rich girl who doesn't want to touch the charcoal because she might get dirty; yet when they finally do start to paint or draw, it's mind blowing. I want to focus on them. I think great artists get overlooked at this school and it's time for them to be brought forth to the public! The only hard part in this is that most of the drawings and paintings in the art room are from years ago, and most of them don't even have names on them. So I need your help. If you or anyone you know has made something amazing let me know or tell them to find me in advisory or something (I have Mr. Douthat). I'm going to interview three or four people and take pictures of them with their piece. It's a great way to get appreciation for doing such great work and, if the person is interested in going to an art school, saying you've had a painting published in the school newspaper looks great on an application! The art itself can be anything from a pencil sketch to a sculpture, abstract or realistic. I'm open to every idea so if you know someone, or if you are an artist yourslef please don't hesitate to let me know. Thank you!

This seems like a really good idea Jayane.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of unexpected artists around school. It's amazing to think about what others can do when we don't even think about it. I am an artist, I do better at copying cartoons, sketching real flowers, and I'm slowly starting to do portraits. I even made a self portrait (which I gotta find) not too long ago.

Janaye, that sounds very interesting. Did you know that Wickenburg has an "Art Club"? It meets every Tuesday morning at the art gallery, so I guess there are no younger people involved. However, they might know some local aspiring young artists. Also, you might want to check with Mrs. Macias or Mrs. Willis in counseling. And don't forget the 50-60 juniors and seniors we have at the Alt School.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea janaye! We have to get those astounding artist our there!

One of my friends, Mariel Alvarado, is an outstanding artist. If you give her a picture of pretty much anything, she can copy it onto paper perfectly. And she loves to draw animals most of all (not including humans). If you want to get in touch with her, just talk to me in class.
