Art has no specific defintion. For some it can mean creativity
and others it’s just who they are. It has more than one meaning as well as many ways
of being expressed.
The Art Department here at Messmer has many things to offer. There are
classes like Artist Portfolio, Honors Art History, Painting, and Ceramics just
to name a few. In each class students are able to explore a whole different
world through art. They are able to express themselves and be creative in every
way possible.
This semester things are a little different. The Art Department is offering Painting, Artist Portfolio as well as Ceramics 2. The
projects this semester will be very different from those of last semester.
Art Teacher Ms. Rebecca Hoeppner says, ”Ahhh-You will just have to wait and see! With Artist
Portfolio students, you will never quite know what to expect!” With saying this
she assures us that there will be some new and wonderful art pieces produced this semester.
Art to some people is a talent or just something that comes
naturally. Ms. Hoeppner added, “Art is a challenge to give students the courage to
create. We can all make art; it comes down to believing we can.” Sophomore
Sarah Jones says, “For me art is another way for me to express myself although
I’m not that good at it.” It is something that is also seen in everyday life here at Messmer, displayed throughout the building.
In the field of art you never know what to expect;
around every corner lays a new piece of art. Sophomore Deja Haskin adds, “Going
into painting [class] I thought we were just going to paint things but now I see it’s
more than just putting paint on paper.” Art is challenging, fun, and as fulfilling as you can imagine.
Are you ready to get busy?
