Adviser nomination: Kirstie is a very talented student artist. She's a creative problem-solver who strives for quality in every project she pursues. She's also generous, responsible and readily volunteers to help other students do extra work or work on special community or school projects. Kirstie's an asset in any art class and a joy to be around.
Art activities: Painting and pottery. I've been in every art class but photography, which I will take next semester.
Project you're working on: I'm designing a T-shirt for Nordic skiing. They are celebrating their 30th anniversary. They want a more retro sports-like design. So I'm going to do a more '70s font and images and it'll have a ski outfit on it. I have to have it done by the end of this month.
