Creativity, self-assurance, boldness, and organization are just some of the many key skills that my visual arts classes have helped me to master. I will forever be grateful to all of my arts teachers who gave me room to learn and grow in their classrooms. I came to Ellis having very little confidence in my artistic ability, but throughout my time here, art has slowly become a vital part of my life. I've stuck with clay during 3 out of my 4 years here and Ms. Sturdevant has taught me so many values and skills that can be applied to clay and to life as well. I will forever be grateful for everything I've gained at Ellis, but particularly the skills I've learned from my incredible arts teachers.
