Cover Story

I am currently a 10th grader at Sandia High School and art is one of my favorite classes. I used to draw and paint, even before I started school. My artwork didn’t start out the prettiest but over time I have learned a lot. I had a great art teacher at Our Lady of Annunciation, Mrs. Lutz. She taught us how to use different types of media. Currently, I like to draw mostly nature and animals. When I’m not doing art, I play volleyball and spend time with my three brothers, mom, and dad.
