To a young woman attending Paso Robles high school as a junior, art is to be described as her main mechanism of expressing herself.
“I’ve tried a lot of different things, and so far, arts really the only thing that’s really stuck out to me, and kind of opened my eyes,” Lulu Haddox said. Haddox mentioned how she’s never been really good at expressing herself in words, so “being able to think something in my mind and then being able to physically create” is the biggest way she enjoys expressing herself. Haddox also included how her mood affects her art production. “If I’m in a good mood, I could easily whip something up. Whereas when I’m not feeling good that day, I get really bad art block,” Haddox said. She also shared that
“Art can take so many forms whether it be music, dancing, or physical art like painting or sculpting. It’s just so many things,” Haddox said.
Garrett Haggmark is currently a senior enrolled in Studio Art taught by Clarissa Wilson. Haggmark’s art can be described as nothing short of extraordinary. “Most of my art is nature or landscape, and I like being in nature and connecting it all together,” he said. “I feel like you can give people a voice because people see things differently and some people like to see them visually. I feel like art can be a good way to express things.”
Haggmark specifically mentions the numerous murals displayed about the PRHS campus and how they represent a voice for people to be seen rather than heard. “It’s a fun way to show your creative side,” Haggmark said.
Among over 2,000 Bearcats that walk the PRHS campus everyday, there are many that can produce art beyond your belief.
