Always experimenting with different medium, junior Jamie W. decided to challenge herself by using charcoal to create a serious artwork in a short amount of time.

“It was a learning experience using charcoal in this drawing,” Jamie W. said. “My inspiration was an artist named David Jon Kassan. I love his artwork. He uses toned paper with white and black charcoal and I never done that before so I wanted to try it out. It’s really fun.”  

She used junior Destiny J. as her model for her piece.

 “[Destiny] has an interesting face and she’s a really great friend so I wanted to draw her,” Jamie W. said. “I hope to enter it into a competition one day, maybe.”
