I love art because it allows me to zone out and express my thoughts and ideas through color, shape, and texture rather than by words.- Ansley S.
Works shown: Angel Wing Shells, plaster, wire mesh and Nothing Gold Can Stay (after Robert Frost), repurposed shoes, brass with patina
The reason why I love art so much is because it is a fun and relax way to get away from the stress that comes with school and life. I think art is really good at teaching because it tells us to think at a higher level and examine more closely. Even though something may seem simple, chances are you must use your imagination and look for deep messages. - Austin S
Works shown: Green fist, carved soapstone and kurt’s guitar, carved and laser-cut wood, hardware
Art is a way of freedom and gives you the chance to breathe in a different feeling of happiness while you create your imagination. -Camille S.

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” – Edgar Degas
I believe this quote applies in many things in our world today. All people see the world through different lenses and based on that art can be an outlet for each individual to find an underlying message that relates specifically to them. This inspires me to make art and to give people an outlet for their imagination to run wild. Art is something that will always be a big part of our culture because no matter what the piece is, someone will always find a way to convey it to their lives. - Hunter H
