Congratulations to 2013 Senior Scholarship Winners

This year's scholarship winners are Lindsay Ford of Lawrence High School, student of Wendy Vertacnik, andTheresa Wolff of Northeast Magnet High School, student of Jennifer Larsen.

 

Lindsay Ford: My entire senior year has been about finding myself as an artist. Before this year, I didn’t really know art was what I would be going into, mainly because I have so many other interests. Over the summer, at a pre-college program, I figured out that pursuing an art related career is the only thing I could actually do with my life. Because of this, I've been working harder than ever to improve my skills and find my personal style as well as experimenting with different mediums. I'm not really sure where I want to go to college but I do know that i want to double major in Illustration and something like painting or drawing

 


 

Theresa Wolff: In my artwork, my goal is to get people to think about their actions in relation to the environment. Right now the prime focus of my work is human interactions with the environment. This is the subject of my concentration for Advance Placement Studio Art. This topic intrigues me because it is relevant in today's society and nature has always fascinated me. I use photo references and acrylic paint to convey my ideas. I hope to move on to college in the next year and continue creating art works of a high quality. After college, I aspire to become a production designer in Hollywood. I plan on majoring in Painting.
