The reality of artistry

Pros and cons of creativity

Being an artist is a journey of passion, creativity, and self-expression. From the moment they pick up a brush or pencil, artists channel their emotions and ideas onto paper, canvas, or screen, allowing others to see the world through their eyes. Anybody can be an artist, making art from various media and forms, but they share a common spirit of wonder and imagination. Being an artist can be challenging if done professionally, but it is also extremely rewarding.

Art is an amazing form of self-expression and can show the kind of person you are, without even speaking.

“Art is a beautiful expression of emotion, how could anyone like it?” Sal Jolly ’27.

“Seeing characters come to life, and seeing myself improve over time is why I enjoy art.” Vivian Williams ’27.
