Art Comes Alive During Coronavirus
Zowee Landingham asked sophomore Cody Hankins about the artwork that kept him busy for some of distance learning:
I’m picking movie posters to paint because I love movies and I have a big empty space on my wall above my bed so I wanted to fill it with pictures of movies I love. At first I had only painted about two times outside of Mr. Williams’ art class, but I thought it was really fun so shortly after school got out I tried painting on paper. I didn’t have good supplies so my mom ordered some and I’ve been painting periodically over quarantine. I really just got into painting by looking at other people’s art work. I mainly just drew for a long time but I wanted to try something different, so I tried painting. It has helped me pass time during quarantine by letting me do art and practice so I can improve my skill.
