Tyena's Story

I discovered my passion for photography ever since I was a little girl. I always thought I would be good at it, so as I entered middle school, I was able to gain experience in all the types of arts I desired. I majored in photography my last two years there and it was difficult. As a class, we did the dark room, which is a place you can develop the pictures you like from film They're some pieces that that were fantastic, this has always been my favorite every where I go I at least have to take some pictures for memories and I loved it so much that I inspired my high school to start a production company based on just photography.

Attending Creative Arts Workshop Adventures in Art will help me further my inspiration on photography. I could always learn new things from different people that I may have never been taught when taking photography class. A new environment can always be a positive aspect for me to increase my knowledge in the arts. Therefore, I think Creative Arts Workshop Adventures in Art can open up so many windows for me.

A Note from Ms. Strand, Tyena's Teacher

Tyena is an excellent candidate for the Creative Arts Workshop Adventures in Art program, because she will--without question--make the most of this opportunity. Tyena cares deeply about being reliable and about ensuring that she puts forth her best effort. When I asked Tyena why she thought she'd be a good candidate, she responded, "When I have a passion for something, I always get it done without hesitation." I look forward to seeing Tyena grow as a photographer, developing her vision and skills and discovering new possibilities.
