Art class draws in students; Students thrive in self-expression elective

Art class has becomes a favorite class of many students, as a time used to express themselves through a pencil, pen, or paintbrush.

     “My favorite part about art is that I get to let out my creativity and spill my dreams onto the canvas,” said senior Rudy Pair.

     Pair’s favorite art project is using graphite pencils to shade people. 

     “I joined art because I wanted to learn more techniques and to improve my skill at drawing people and animals,” said Pair. 

    Pair has been in art class all four years of his high school career. He suggests that everyone should take art because it is fun, calming, and a  way to let your creativity out.

     Art class contains many different projects throughout the whole year. Students learn techniques such as painting, shading, and pointillism.

     “My favorite thing to teach the students is drawing faces because drawing people is my specialty and I love teaching others how to do it,” said Mrs. Melinda Moore. 

     Moore has taught art at Harvard Public Schools for two years. She teaches three high school art classes that add up to be 25 students. She also teaches middle school rotation art classes that have 12 students at a time.

     “A kid can be bad at their other classes and come to art class and do good. They will realize they can be skilled and do well in a class,” said Moore.

     Moore started teaching art because kids were losing interest in art and she wanted to show them that it was fun. 

     Eighth-grader Brayan Chacon took a middle school art rotation class in the first semester. 

     “My favorite part about art class is getting to draw different kinds of cars on the light table,” said Chacon.

      Chacon said he really likes being creative and that he would really want to take art again in the future.
