As a senior Chris has received many a- wards, most of which were acquired during his freshman and junior vears. Most impor- tant have been a first place in the Indianapo- lis 500 Art Festival and several awards in the nationwide Scholastic Art Contest. Included in his achievements is a scholar- ship from John Herron School of Art, where Chris took a summer precollege workshop. This, along with his awards and some of his work, will contribute to his future in the field of commercial or graphic art. Many art students feel that their talent comes naturally or is just something that they were born with. But Chris explains, I don ' t know if I have any natural ability, but I do practice when I can to better my tal- ent. Although it seems that someone with such a talent would have been interested in art since the day he could hold a pencil, Chris didn ' t even know he had any artistic abilities until he got to high school and was discovered by art teacher James Lynch. Be- fore then art was just a class to get me a couple extra credits, explains Chris. Not only does Chris use his art ability in class but he also carries it on as a hobby. His other hobbies include lapidary and printing. Chris also enjoys camping and hiking. Among the many different types of art, Chris prefers sketching as his favorite. I either sketch alone somewhere or in class with some of the people I grew up with, commented Chris. Chris has had a lot of help from teachers and friends and feels that both have a great influence on his talents and abilities. With- out them I could not have done a lot of things, he explains.
