Each month I will be spotlighting one of my students – past or present, and their artistic ventures! I work with students of all ages and abilities and you’ll get to learn a little bit about these amazing artists and their work!
Our September spotlight is on:
Elana Pavese
Hi my name is Elana, I’m 10 years old and in the 5th grade. I like playing outside, being with friends, gymnastics, camping and Legos!
Why did you begin to take art lessons/how did you become interested in art? “I started liking art because you can express your feelings in a way besides telling them.”
What are your favorite mediums and/or subjects for your artwork? “Painting & coloring.”
What is your favorite thing you’ve ever created and why? “My geometric shape elephant because it has all my favorite colors and is my favorite animal.”
Do you have a favorite color? “Bubble gum pink & Lavender purple.”
What or who inspires you to create your artwork? “My art teacher Miss Jenell, her artwork is really inspiring!”
Is there a certain style, or type, of art that you’d like to try someday? “Origami – I just love the way the shapes come out in different things.”
How has your artwork improved/what have you done to keep improving as an artist? “Keep practicing and the art homework helps me.”
Is there an aspect of art that you don’t like and why? “It’s really messy and sometimes it doesn’t come out the way you want it.”
Do you have any advice for someone who wants to become an artist or improve their skill? “Keep practicing to get better.”
Elana is careful in her artwork, taking her time and coming up with ideas before executing them! She puts a lot of thought into her work but is open to make changes or adjustments if needed! Elana is also very dedicated to accomplish what she sets out to do and continues to work on a piece until she’s happy with it! Keep up the great work Elana!
