Why are you involved in the Fine Arts at Bacon?

I’m involved with the Fine Arts because I’ve always loved to create something new and show people what I’ve made.

Favorite Memory

My favorite memory of the Fine Arts is when I actually managed to make a usable bowl during Ceramics.

What would you say to someone who wants to get 

involved in the Fine Arts at Bacon?

Even if you’re nervous about how your art is looking, keep going! This school has so many ways to get better at whatever field you’re interested in!

Future Plans

I plan to follow in my older sisters footsteps and go to college for Fine Arts; hopefully seeing a career in animation.

Why are you involved in the Fine Arts at Bacon?

I have always been interested in the Fine Arts, but I never thought of myself as an artistic person until I came to RB. I was so shy with showing my art, singing, and playing instruments in front of people. Both the Drama Guild and RB3 have helped me become less afraid. Now the arts make me the person I am today and I want to be able to share my talents, rather than just keeping them to myself.

Favorite Memory

My favorite memory would be performing at the Aronoff for "We Will Rock You" and "Spamalot". It was a surreal experience, and I felt so lucky and grateful. It’s not everyday you can perform on stage with your closest friends, so I feel extremely fortunate that the Drama Guild gave me that opportunity. 

What would you say to someone who wants to get 

involved in the Fine Arts at Bacon?

DO IT!!! I found myself really enjoying both the Visual and Performing Arts offered at Bacon. The teachers here are some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met, and they are always willing to help you learn and introduce you to new things.  Before I came to RB, I was unsure. Now, I can proudly say that the Fine Arts have made me become a better and more outgoing person. 

Future Plans

My plans are to study chemistry or physics in college. 

Other Involvement & Interests

I love sewing, crocheting, and listening to music.
