Senior Debbie Pan constantly incorporates art into her life. She paints the posters for Class of 2013 for school rallies, takes dance pictures for fellow students, and designs for clients and friends. Looking to the future, Debbie hopes to major in Advertising Design and Graphic Design and one day become a creative director for major companies. Her interests include graphic design, photography, and simply drawing with pen.
“I first started drawing in math or English notebooks during elementary school or middle school because I could never pay attention in class…in middle school I started becoming interested in taking photos so I got my first point-and-shoot camera.”
Senior Paul Lee first became interested in photography when he went on a mission trip to Vietnam. He was responsible for taking pictures for his mission team and after that trip, his parents bought him a new Canon 60D. Although Paul does enjoy taking pictures as a hobby, he does not see himself as a professional photographer.
“So far my artistic interests have been photography, and during my free time just drawing random amateur stuff. Whenever I go out to the beach or an event I try taking my camera with me so I can take pictures.”
Senior Elbert Tiao has been building his art portfolio since his sophomore year, and is still currently adding on to it with hard work and dedication whenever he is not in school. He is currently taking AP Studio Art and Production Graphics and enjoys seeing his art improve. He aspires to be part of the art and design industry in the future and is inspired by his sister’s artistic ventures.
“I love artworks that grab people’s attention and eyes. Either funny or serious, I value a piece of work that brings curiosity and a story behind it.”
