This week, The Clarionette returns to the Artist of the Week by interviewing Ben Kresl. Enticed with drawing and painting from a young age, Kresl, now a senior, has been doing art for most of his life. Drawing inspiration from French artists such as Roger Broders with his travel posters, Kresl has been able to create many unique pieces throughout his time at U-High. While familiar with digital media, Kresl prefers to use a simple charcoal pencil when creating his art. “It feels kind of selfish, but I like to be able to say that I created something from scratch and truly call it my own. Being able to reach a final product when it comes to art is both really satisfying and provides me with a sense of ownership that I believe is hard to find anywhere else,” Kresl said.

As a child, junior Harrison Gordon loved drawing and being creative, but he didn’t explore art a whole lot in middle school. Mike Henning’s Art Fundamentals class has led Gordon to reconnect with art and the happiness it gives him. Gordon said he got back into art because he needed a way to express himself other than the music he makes. “I love art so much because of the freedom it gives me to make whatever I want, and truly express and bring to life ideas I have,” Gordon said. “It’s one of my favorite hobbies now”

Junior Isaac Ogunleye describes his artistic style as “another way to express himself.” He uses detail to show different memories, dreams, thoughts and also his favorite things. His artwork is a lot of unique and interesting pieces that all connect to him in one way or another. “Art is unique to everyone,” Ogunleye said, “and that is one of the main reasons i even started to draw and doodle. It was all unique, and I have always seen myself as a unique individual.”
