The Artist and The Academic by Johany Solano The words flow out of me, dripping with emotion and passion. Words, with intelligence, precision. This is the criteria, this is all I’ll need to give. Words. Color splashes across the once blank canvas. They dance, and gleam, give life to a 2D image. The lines are thick, the colors are muted pastels. I color inside the lines, carefully...carefully… Art Work. Snap! A flower, glowing on this dewy morning. All of its beauty captured at the perfect moment, all of it snapped at just the right moment. Click! A morning glory, wet with drops of dew. The color is fascinating! Great for my botany project… Photos. But what if I was academic. If I had dedication, the mind- set of good quality work, stupendous vocabulary, and an answer for every question, neither right nor wrong but always something vague in-between, making every word original. But what if I was artistic. If I had the inspiration, the mind- set of passionate work, tremendous commitment, and word or color for each feeling that rushes through my veins, Never only black and white but always a mixture of both making it gray. There doesn’t have to be a line It isn’t one or another right or wrong black or white No, it’ll just be Me All of it is Me Johany is a 10th grader at FHS.
