I am a senior this year taking Art IV. I have taken art all four years of my high school career and joined the art club this year. After school, I participate in varsity athletics including volleyball, softball, and basketball. I have participated in these sports all four years as well. My favorite projects throughout my four years are water color, acrylic on canvas, mosaic, and stained glass. My plans for the future are to attend a four-year college and complete a chemistry degree, which I will use to then enroll into a pharmacy doctorate program in pharmacology. Peyton Miller I am in Art IV for my senior year. I have participated in art class since I was a freshman, and I have always enjoyed art because it is a fun and creative way to express myself. My favorite projects were the altered books, silk paintings, acrylic, and oil painting. My hobbies include sports and 4-H. Many of my projects incorporate my interests, which include animals, flowers, and Christmas. I am involved in student council, National Honor Society, National Machinery, volleyball, basketball, and softball. In the future, plan to attend a four year college, majoring in health science, pre-speech therapy, or pre-occupational therapy. Emily Manasian My name is Emily Manasian and I am in Art IV. I have been in art throughout elementary and high school and my favorite project has always been acrylic and oil paintings. I get to be as creative and personal as I want, and all of my projects usually have deeper meanings than what my art seems to represent. I’ve loved art since I was little, but I also enjoy music, reading, and writing. I have been in two of Old Fort’s musicals and was on the crew for another one. I plan to attend Miami University, but am still undecided on my major. Moving to a bigger city and a new town will open up a new experience and hopefully lead me to a future that I will enjoy and thrive in. April-May Kampus Keyhole Noah Henry I have been participating in the Old Fort High School art department for 4 years. Some of my favorite projects include oil painting, silk painting, and stained glass. My favorite project that we’ve done in class has been oil painting. It was exciting to use a new medium and have complete control over how creative we could get with our paintings. Some of my other school activities include the school musical, soccer, and National Honors Society. After graduation I will be attending the University of Toledo and majoring in biology. Allison Adelsperger I am in Art IV. There are several projects I enjoyed doing throughout my years in class. One of my favorites was painting oil on canvas. This project was fun to me because the oil paint blended very well and painted very smoothly. Another project I enjoyed was chalk. I tended to blend bright chalk colors to make my work pop. I am currently in the 3D art class, and my favorite project this year was the additive sculpture. During the school year, I have participated in volleyball, basketball, and softball, and I am also involved in National Honor Society and National Machinery. My plans for the future are not final yet. I will be attending Heidelberg or Bluffton University, and I am currently undecided on my major. Tori Kluck Hi, I’m Tori Kluck, and I’m a senior here at Old Fort. I’ve been in art for four years now, and I’ve enjoyed it. Throughout my four years, I have had many different projects. I have been fond of the majority of the projects I’ve done. One project that I have enjoyed the most is stained glass. Stained glass is my favorite because it is different compared to our other projects. Here at Old Fort, I’m involved in art club and yearbook. Outside of school, I enjoy going fishing, being at the lake, going to concerts, and just being with family and friends. This fall I will be attending Youngstown State University and plan to become a physical therapist. Page 7 Page 8 April-May Elijah Cleveland My name is Elijah (Hootie) Cleveland and I am a senior in Art IV. I have taken Art almost every year through jr. high and high school, and it is one of my favorite classes because it allows me to be creative and independent. This helps relax a student from the usual school days and assignments. My favorite projects throughout Advanced Art would have to be our oil paintings senior year. I also enjoyed acrylic painting, optional scratchboard, and string art. In addition, I loved when we did architecture in Art I. In high school, I was a member of the National Honor Society and played many sports: I participated in cross country, soccer, baseball, and basketball. After I graduate from Old Fort, I plan to attend a small college that will allow me the opportunity to play basketball and pursue a degree in education. Eric Bell My name is Eric Bell, and I am a senior in Art IV. My favorite projects in art are scratchboard, string art, and the different painting units. Throughout art, I have had a unique style that is visible from most of my artworks. My style is birds; I enjoy painting them, and I am good at it so that is what most of my projects were. My hobbies outside of school are basketball, soccer, wakeboarding, and Clash Royale- a phone game. I am an Eagle Scout and in National Honor Society. In the future, I plan to attend the University of Toledo to earn a degree in mechanical engineering. After graduating college, I hope to find a stable, fun, well-paying job that I can enjoy until retirement.
