There are many talented young people throughout the world, but what makes the true artist different is not easy to recognize by most. The true artist lives for the sole purpose of creating, ex ressing themselves and, usually teaching through their creations. Artists do not always w e a r d i rt a i n t Y, P ' splotched shirts and ra - ed clothing, and not all artists are painters and sculptors. Musicians are artists as well as dancers and poets. There is, in fact, an art to everything that requires skill. The auto mechanic is an artist as well as the chel in a restaurant. Art brings mixed emo- tions from one individual to the human race as a whole. A work of art can say so much because it usually gives the au- dience many different ideas. A work of art hardly every expresses one solid idea or emotion so it to think on superficial terms. So art is not for everyone.

That is what an artist can take in and toss out because an artist focuses on truth, and worldly matters seem to hinder the exploration of the truth. Sophomore Tamera Read was one of Nimitz's more talented artists. She works mainly with paints and pencils. She was ac- cepted to the Arts Magnet at Booker T. Washington High School in Dallas and no longer attends Nimitz. She explained why she left, saying, The students body at Nimitz didn't seem to appreciate the art work so I canit very well create for peo- ple who don't soak it up. Senior Kirk Seace ex- plained why some people do not appreciate some art. Many artists, he said, give abstract titles to their work which many people can't grasp, so by giving insightful titles, the average man can grasp the creation. One can see that art and artists are making a statement. Story by Chad Rueffer.
