Art tells so much about people, their emotions, and most of all who they are. There are many forms of art, such as music, drawing, writing and ceramics. Our school’s current arts teachers are Mr. Jensen, Mrs. Stream, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Howe and Mr. Brito. I believe they are doing a great job on teaching and showing us students to succeed in what we are striving for, but art isn’t just what you express inside a class room. It can be looked at in many different ways.
Inside school art electives are beginning art, Ceramics, Paint, Photography, Orchestra, Band, Choir, and Jazz band. Meanwhile, when students aren’t attending these classes they are expressing themselves in different ways.
Graffiti is a form of art. In my point of view it is very creative and time consuming. The school doesn’t allow it because it would be considered gang related. It would be interesting if there could be some shown in the school. Like on the restroom doors, stair doors and in the commons. I do not think the school would allow this action to take place because of vulgar language and the students who may be involved in gangs. Jason Mueller 10th grade stated. “Some forms of graffiti should be seen inside the school, if it is appropriate and has nothing gang related to it.”
The students of FMHS are very creative and that should be shared between our staff and peers. So I asked a few of my classmates if they would be willing to give me graffiti art work that have made. They all said they were willing to give it a try because of the stereo types people are given if they can create such art and where they come from.
