A photograph titled “Sky Islands, AZ”, taken by biology teacher Dr. Morrow, was displayed in the art gallery as part of the Endless Summer Photography show. The photography show was open to Jefferson students and staff. “The community at TJ isnt just reserved to us students. I think having it open to staff as well was a great way to let faculty members flex their art muscles a bit,” senior Mulan Pan, NAHS co-president, said.

“At TJ especially I think we’re taught to prioritize academic STEM subjects over art or writing “hobbies”, but your passions are just as worthwhile. It’s a special kind of fulfillment that you get from creating art, and I hope that you don’t feel pressured to sacrifice it in an effort to catch up to your more STEM-oriented peers,” Junior Mulan Pan said.

Shown in front of a crowd of people, senior Alice Ji stands with her acrylic self portrait, “When I start with a painting, I have one main subject that I want to be the focal point, and smaller things I want to draw with it. Paintings become a cluster of these two: Around the person, I like to have more fantastical elements,” Ji said. Several of her portraits focus on people due to the level of depth and detail she can invest into them, “As for what inspires me to create art, I paint people because I feel its a lot easier to express emotion or tell stories when there is a person in it. For me, its just the fundamental idea of making something that you love,” Ji said.

NAHS students artwork line the walls of the art gallery. I think art in general helps with the way that you think, Li said. Just being free and being allowed to innovate the way you want is like very freeing.
