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.”
