Kamilah is a senior at Clinton High School and Traci Manning is her art instructor. Below is what Kamilah had to share:
"When I was little I used to watch this show called art attack and they showed you how to do different types of art and I use to do every possible thing that I could, and if not at least tried. My first “ big “ project was a farm with play-doh, so I did the chicken, and the pig, etc all of the farm animals for my school, that was in kindergarten, when I got into elementary I stopped doing it because there was no art classes but I remember that my mom got me this little packet of different kinds of colors, pencils, paint, markers and I was so happy I used it all the time after school. When I got to junior high I started painting and building things with different kinds of supplies, people started buying the things that I made, and that inspired me to keep doing art. Now that I’m in High school I’m so glad I get the chance to keep improving my skills, continuing working, drawing, painting, building, I feel like I’m not expressing it very well, but you person that is reading this, trust me when I tell you that having the opportunity to make art in any way possible makes me so happy. It fills my soul in a way that nobody could imagine, and that I can’t even describe. My mom always described my art as something weird, but weird in a unique and beautiful way. My family has always encouraged me to keep doing it, and I’m glad they do it because without them telling me what they like, what they don’t, what could I add or change, what should I work more on, I don’t know what I would do, this story could go and go, on and on, but I feel like this is to much. Thank YOU so much for reading my short story. Sincerely, Kamilah Hernandez."
