“A lot of people judge art by how it looks. When they see art, they just see it by its surface value, which is understandable. That’s kind of the point of art, to make something and put it on paper. But the thing about art is that you kind of have to look deeper into it in order for it to mean more than just something cute on a piece of paper. If you wanted to see something pretty on a piece of paper, you could just take pictures or AI generate something. But art means more than that. It’s not about what you put on the paper. It’s about what’s behind it, what led you to make it in the first place. Honestly, it’s beautiful how you can see who a person is based on how they draw something or what they draw in particular. You can’t capture that just by looking at it without thinking about the person.” – Senior Kaylah Rodriguez.
