Sophomore
Art
Class:
“I’m
in Art 1, visual arts.”
Favorite
color:
“Red,
or green. Well I guess, when I was little Mario and Luigi [the Super
Mario brothers] was a big deal.”
Why
art:
“I
enjoyed art in middle school, so I knew it would be fun.”
Medium
of choice:
“I’m
really into photography more than painting or sculpting. I did emotions
in pictures [projects] and the environment around me, so that was interesting.
I took nine different pictures and each picture had a different emotion.
One I had was a sad picture, where I took a picture of a beaten up sign
in the parking lot in the morning, and the sky was still dark and you can see
the sunset in the background.”
Music
inspiration:
“No,
not really actually. When I do listen to music it’s like normal pop
really.”
Memorable
class moment:
“There
was this one day where, we all had this
warm up that we had to draw in sign language, and I like to take my time to pay
attention to detail, and everyday someone would say ‘Oh my gosh, Nikolas,
gold!’ and I was like ‘Oh thanks.’ I’m probably always going to remember
that.”
Words
of inspiration:
“Never
give up. I know people who have given up
because they’re like ‘this person is better than me.’ But you can find
something that you’re better at and put your own little spin on it, different
from [what] someone else has done, because no artwork is original.”
