Tucker Richardson
I'm Tucker and I'm in 12th grades. This is my 2nd year as a member of NAHS. my favorite type of art is interpretive Art.
My favorite thing about art is that it is subjective, it’s memorable, it can say more than words can express, and it is able to be perfected and critiqued to get art to its fullest potential.

My name is Derrien Butler and I am a junior. This school year has been my first year in the NAHS, which has been great! My favorite thing about art in general is how artists have the ability to take full control over artwork, which allows us to portray messages and demonstrate creativity within the artwork itself to make it worthwhile and meaningful, not only to ourselves but to other people.
Hannah Funston

I love to capture the natural beauty of the world and create stories and meaning out of photos. For me, art is an amazing way to express your feelings and see how everyone sees and interprets the world in their own way.

Jina Manfrellotti
I'm Jina and I am in 12th grade.
I have been a part of NAHS for three years now.
I think all types of art are beautiful. I paint and draw mostly but I even enjoy 3 dimensional and photography. Especially after taking Art History I learned to enjoy and appreciate all forms of art. Art is a way to express and show a person's thought process without saying a word. You can have 20 people with the same idea but end up with 20 different paintings I think that is amazing.
