I am happy to share some amazing high school seniors' artwork. I remember high school art class for me was my place to be creative. A place to express myself and being around others doing the same. Learning there is no wrong way to create art. My teachers always made me feel accepted and allowed us to be creative and taught us to look at things differently. Everyone in class seemed to appreciate our differences and our own unique way of creating art.
Thank you to Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Brodeur for being amazing teachers to all your students.
I hope these soon to be graduates always find ways to create, to make this world a more beautiful place.
"Hi! My name is Ellie Early and I’ll be graduating from Medway High this year and will be attending Northeastern University in the fall. I’ll be majoring in business with a minor in design and I’ll be studying in Greece for my first semester! Over the past few years I have fostered a true passion for creating art and it has become one of my favorite pastimes and forms of expression. I have always been creative and artistic and I hope to continue using my talents as I go forward in college, as well as somehow incorporate it into my career one day!"

"Art has been a way to keep my hands busy, a form of personal expression, a visual outlet to make strong statements, and a way to show my love and appreciation to those around me. I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, bringing a notepad and a pencil to every restaurant, long car ride, and vacation. I love what art making has done for me as a creative outlet and want to bring that to more kids. I will be attending Montserrat College of Art in the fall to study to be an art teacher to show younger generations how they can use art to express themselves and find comfort in it the same way I did."

"Hello! I’m Rena Weafer and I am senior at Medway High School. Ever since I could hold a crayon, I have been creating art. To me, art is so much more than what meets eye. Art provides a place for me to put my thoughts on display for the world to see. It’s a way of communicating my perspective on life’s many struggles. Through silent battles and heartaches, art has been a constant presence for me to lean on because I know that whatever I am going through, art will help me find my way. At school when I am completing an assignment or at home when I’m attempting to organize my mind, I find myself doodling on the whatever paper I have in front of me as a way to focus my energy on the task at hand. With whatever I plan to do in the future, I know I will always bring my creativity to the table, that art taught me so many years ago."
