Did you discover photography through school or on your own?
I discovered photography through my school. I have always liked art and was very interested in fashion and design, but when I came to McKinley I was introduced to photography and enjoyed it a lot. Then that's where I started learning a lot about cameras and elements in photography and even worked in the dark room several times.
What made you choose the subject matter for this collection?
When I was given the project from my art teacher, Jackie Hart, I was not really sure what I was going to do. I kept on going back and forth about ideas. Then she gave me a separate project on the side and that were I learned about Cindy Sherman. I loved her work and that's where I came up with the idea for my concentration. After that pictures just started flowing and I had a blast.
What sort of classroom support do you get for your art?
I got a lot of support from all my art teachers. Since it was the first year for AP Art we didn't have a lot of the materials we needed. Luckily I had to other art teachers who had enough supplies. Ms. Harvey Help me whit my fliers and supplied me with computers. Mr. Sobala provided me with a great camera and taught how to mat and mount. He also supplied me with computers and supplies. He also gave me some tips and advice for m y pictures. Ms. Harvey help me a lot with what ever I needed and guided me till the end.
Do you plan to major in art/photography in college?
No I do not plan to major in photography, but I do plan to minor in it. I love photography I know I will be doing it in the future. You never know I might change my mind in the future and choose is it as a career. I would love to be a fashion photographer.
How does it feel to be doing an art show in a venue that gives it a wider audience than your fellow students and teachers?
It's such a different feeling that sometimes I don't know how to respond. I don't know if I should be exited or nervous or even both. Right now I'm so focused on getting everything perfect and ready for the show that I don't even pay attention to how close it is and how I would act the day of the show. It my first show ever, no one has really seen any of my work either then my teachers. I hope that my fellow student, teacher, friends and even people I don't know who see my work sees what I was trying to say in my pictures and first of all I hope they like it.
