My name is Alina Schwartz and I am in my senior year at Ronald Reagan High School. I have lived in the city of Milwaukee for my whole life and I am constantly amazed at the abundance of creativity throughout our community. Art has always fascinated me; using different mediums to creatively express one's ideas and personal beliefs has always been something I strive to do. Ever since I was young, I have always aimed to better myself and to learn new techniques. Reagan IB art is a great challenge for me and exposes all of its students to a positive learning environment. This year, I want to use art to express the changes I have gone through and how my identity as a young woman has been shaped through personal experiences. |
