For some, art doesn’t mean much, but for Alixander Knight, it is his passion and takes up about 80-90 % of his week. He states, “Art is kind of the only thing I really do.” Alixander Knight is a senior at Watertown High School, throughout his years here he has taken Art 1, 2, 3 and is currently in AP Art. Alix says he has been into art since before he began talking, although Middle School is when he realized, “This is actually really fun to do and I can actually do this.” The main kind of art he does is digital art and when he is older he hopes to become an illustrator or animator. Outside of school, Alix is the vice president of SAGA, which is a diverse LGBTQ group. In his featured piece, “Dizziness” he was assigned to make a drawing based on the concentration fears, and phobias. The first thing he thought was people who are afraid of being dizzy. He wanted to do something that was difficult to look at, so he thought to do 3D lines. He believes that this piece is a representation of how everybody is afraid of something, and how no one knows what someone is afraid of. When starting this piece he states his initial thought was “Oh God this isn’t going to come out right.” He says he expected the art to flop because it was more advanced than what he was used to working with. Alix is also inspired by other artists’ like people in his class and photos he sees on Instagram. He thinks, “What can I take from this or what can I learn to do from this to put in my own stuff.” Regarding other artists, Alix shares that he has, “No favorites and thinks everybody is good and great in their own way.”

By: Ryan BarnoskyBrighid Beverly was chosen by the English Department for the January Freshman Student of the Month. She currently has Mr. Lewis as a teacher in English I Honors. Brighid claims that English is her favorite subject. “I think it’s really fun to analyze articles,” she states. To stand apart from her fellow peers she expresses, “I try to always work hard. I’ve always read a lot, so I think I know I had an advantage, because I knew a lot about the elements of English.” So far Brighid feels like the transition from middle school to high school was easy but, “the transition from the beginning of the year to mid-year was a lot harder. There’s a lot more work.” Until now, Brighid has been involved in the school play and plans to audition for the spring musical. She’s also a part of the Robotics Team, which she was previously on, in middle school as well. Earning January Student of the Month is exciting to Brighid, she feels that it’s a “good accomplishment.” To stay on track Brighid has already set a goal for herself, which is to, “earn above a 90 for the whole year.” She’s committed to it and thinks it’ll be rewarding in the end. |
