Past and Future
I am Valerie Westhoff. I'm an aspiring high school artist. I took AP art studio this year. That class became my home and the people my family. I learned how to push myself and experiment with new medias and ideas. This class has taught me how to extend my normal boundaries and try new and unusual things. In my future I really want to restore art. I am inspired by all the beautiful things that have been created and I want to save them for all the future generations. To do this in college I want to major in either chemistry or chemical engineering and minor in art history to learn everything I need. I want to go to CU Boulder my first year but want to go abroad and study for my last years in France. I want to travel to see all the art and experience the different cultures but mostly for the art. I plan to intern this summer with a fellow art restorator to gain some experience and take that with me. It's not the most glamorous career to other people but to me it's my dream and I can't wait to work as hard as I need to in order to achieve it. Art studio has taught me so much and how to manage my work and time but mostly how to appreciate the small things in life.
