Freshmen Madisen jenning is a student in Barrows class and she says “ Art helps me when I’m having a bad or stressful day and it makes me happy that I get to look forward to my class in Mr.Barrows room.” 

She loves to draw whenever she gets the chance to, which is normally a sometimes trippy type of drawing. Drawing gives her more self comfort and helps her express what she may be feeling. Which normally turns into her being happy. 

Charlotte Billings, a senior in Barrows class, has always been a part of her life since she was a kid because her mom would always give her  and art to do at home. She loves working with carcols and enjoys drawing sunflowers. 

Art is important to Billings because “ It’s always been a part of growing up for me and helps me calm down makes me happy.” She wants all of you to know that school is important and to “stay in school kids.”  Art is a huge part of our school at YCHS and is important to be taught and learn about more than people think. Art isnt random things on a piece of paper it’s more than that it’s a feeling of comfort and relaxation and a way to get out of your out of your head.
