CLEVER WITH CLAY | While some people shy away from clay because it's frustrating to work with, that is not the case for senior Claire Schultz, who enjoys working with it. “You can make basically whatever you want,” Schultz said. “If you want to make something functional, you can, if you want something more sculptural, I feel like I can just create whatever I want with it.”

MAKING ART AND FRIENDS | Finding friends can sometimes be a challenge, but for freshman Miles Tranchida, he knew just where to look. “I did not have many friends or at least not have as many friends with the same interests as me,” Tranchida said. “So I decided to join Art Club because I thought maybe I can make some friends who would have the same interests.” a young age, sophomore Juno has always shown an interest in art and tried to improve her skills. “When I was little I loved watching cartoons so I would draw all the time, making my own characters, and progressing my art style along the way,” Buckman said.

GIFTED GETAWAY | Art isn’t just a form of expression for sophomore Grace Waterstradt, it also acts as a sanctuary to distract her from life. “I enjoy it a lot just because it’s fun but it also sometimes acts as an escape from problems I may be feeling or just something I generally enjoy,” Waterstradt said.
