MAC October Student Spotlight: Malia
Happy Spooky Season! With the leaves falling and winter fast approaching, it feels like the perfect time to slow down and cozy up before the busy holiday season begins. Here at the MAC we just wrapped our two biggest events, Paint Mono County and the MAC Gala, which were both a great success giving us a sigh of relief!
The in-school Arts classes have all settled in, as we wrap up the 2nd out of 7 artists we will be learning about this year. One student, 8th grader Malia Pierce, caught our Teaching Artist's attention when she heard Malia encouraging her classmate to attend the MAC Art Club which she has been attending for a long time, and sharing how fun it is! We asked her to share a bit more about her art- keep reading to find out!
Why do you love art?
I love art because it because it makes my brain go quiet and it helps me express myself.
What is a favorite piece of art you have created?
Probably this painting I did with buildings in the background and a lamppost in a foggy environment, I think based in Tokyo.
What would you say to a friend to get them interested in art?
I would say that it's hard at first but if you keep practicing, you can keep getting better and better and you’ll enjoy it more and more.
Do you think art is important? Why?
It’s important because you can express yourself and help people show your emotions even if you can’t show it out loud. It also helps clear your mind.
What do you love to create the most?
Probably drawings with pens and watercolor.
Is there any kind of art you wish you could try?
I want to try using gouache! I heard about it from Mrs. Ellis at Art Club.
I usually appreciate gaming platforms that keep their most important information easy to access. When visitors can find instructions, support details, and policies without difficulty, the website feels more practical. A responsive bdg game app design also makes a difference for people who use smartphones regularly. It is important to look beyond appearance and consider transparency and security as well. Understanding the rules and setting personal boundaries can help users make better decisions about online entertainment.
