Ms. Boardman  teaches numerous classes from introduction to 2-D art and 3-D art, to  painting, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, and studio art. For a  teacher, having a student be proud about what he\/she can accomplish is  exhilarating. Ms. Boardman says \u201cI love seeing their pride in their work  and the excitement they get when they accomplish something they didn&#8217;t  think they could.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For  art students everywhere, Ms. Boardman has some advice, \u201cArtwork is  never truly finished, but it is all in the eye of the beholder.\u201d  Sophomore Hayley Synder says that her favorite thing about art is seeing  what she is capable of when she puts time into what she is working on.  Sophomore Dennis Manuwal says his favorite thing about his art class is  the self portraits, but freshman Chandlor Lamb says he loves the  sculptures. Freshman Gage Nardi says the coolest thing about art is, \u201cI  just like to draw and have fun doing it. I draw weird stuff, sometimes I  don\u2019t even know what I\u2019m drawing until it\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Freshmen  Carly Berger, Lisa Carnegie, and Grace Hilty, junior Brandon McNeely,  and sophomore Cody Critchlow agree that by the end of the class they  wish to improve their drawing skills.<\/p>\n<p>Scholastic\u00a0  Art and Writing contest is coming up. It is not too late to submit some  work because the deadline is January 17. If there are no open spaces on  that school schedule for an art class, Ms. Boardman would like students  to know that Art Club meets the first Tuesday of every month.<\/p>\n<p>Art  classes are not about learning how to be an artist. Use this  opportunity and \u201cDon&#8217;t be afraid to let your inner child out and come  sign up for an art class. You will amaze yourself at how creative you  really are once you are taught proper technique!\u201d Ms. Boardman said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Layne Holloway Plymouth High School has theater, speech, choir, band, and many other classes to help students express themselves.
