Senior Retrospective is about celebrating the multiple years of hard work and dedication of Whitfield's High School Art students. It's a time when students come together to appreciate the talents of other students, and a time to learn about the inspirations and thoughts behind the work of all the students. Senior Retrospective mostly includes work from the past 2 or 3 years along with an artist statement that every senior writes. Senior Retrospective is a tradition that has been happening for a while in the Whitfield Community. It is great that young artists have the opportunity to showcase work to the community!
This year 25 seniors were showcased for Senior Retrospective.
To view pictures of the student’s artwork, click here.
Below are interviews from most of the artists and photographers. They were asked to describe what they like about art at Whitfield.
"I like the projects that we get to do and how they promote creativity and individuality. You really get to see each person's artistic views through each project and photographs. Ms. Foster, thank you so much for making art such a pleasant experience. I have had her for two years and she has really inspired me be the best photographer I can be. She makes class really fun." - Lucy Darr '16
"I like how Whitfield gives a lot of attention to art, whether it would be theater, drawing, ceramics, or photography. I really like how it helps students find out about themselves creatively and in a different viewpoint than in Math class or English class. It is really interesting to see how photos from sophomore year to senior year improve over the years. Ms. Foster, thank you so much for the past three years (they've been amazing!) Photography has always been something that has been around my family ever since I was younger and taking this class has really helped me expand my knowledge and interest in photography." - Olivia Eubank '16
"I like how art class is very diverse and that they give us a lot of spaces to develop ourselves. I want to thank my art teachers because I've learned a lot from them. At first, I thought art was a hobby and a class where I could waste my time, but now I think that it is something that is very important. Art is actually a hard job, but I really love it." - Pamela Zuluaga '16
"I really like how they really give you an opportunity to fit it into your schedule. Especially this year, I only take art once a week because I take many other classes, but I still like to be able to come in and take a class and still learn things. They have Senior Retrospective to celebrate people that have stuck with art for many years and I think that it is very cool that they encourage both challenging yourself in hard classes, but also keeping up with the art. I want to thank my photography teacher for pushing me all these years and helping me produce really great photos." - Jackie Droesch '16
"What I like about Art at Whitfield is that it is accessible to everyone. I like how each person gets to express their art in different ways. People are able to find who they really are through art. I want to thank my art teacher, Ms. Foster, for being an awesome human being. Ms. Foster has really taught me how to look at myself through my art and being able to express my emotions through my art. She also taught me all the techniques and the mechanics of art." - Maya Gross '16
"I love how each student is able to express themselves in their own way and they are given opportunities to do this because some other schools don't have the opportunity to photograph whatever they would like. At Whitfield, we are able to be creative in our own ways. I would like to thank my art teacher, Ms. Foster. She has been a huge inspiration to me and she is truly one of the sweetest teachers I have ever met." - Sarah Myers '16
"I like how you can do what you want in art. I also like how you are able to express yourself with art. I want to thank my art teacher for pushing me to be creative and showing me who I really am." - Kelsey Chadwick '16
"I love that Whitfield gives you the opportunity to spend a lot of time with art. I do wish we could pursue more than one. I love that we have a great space that is dedicated just for art. Ms. Foster has helped me a lot and helped me discover art from different views. I really appreciate how she has pushed us to expand our ideas and helped me personally to understand what the heck I'm doing. With everyone in our class we wouldn't have been able to discover the art we like without being pushed outside of the box." - Alex Curtin '16
"I love that art at Whitfield really challenges me and my teacher Mr. Daniels never says no you can't do that because that's too hard. I love that I am always pushed in art and that there is always a challenge awaiting for me. There is always an end product that you end up liking and smiling at. I would like to thank my art teacher for all the help over the years. Art has really opened my mind and perspective. Thank you for helping me work like I've never done before. It will definitely help me in the future. Thank you for helping me see who I am." - Katie Logan '16
"What I like about Art at Whitfield is that there is a lot of freedom and a lot of projects are really open. I love all the support I get from Ms. Foster. I want to thank Ms. Foster for letting me have creepy art and for always helping me do something on Photoshop. I also want to thank her for supporting me and helping me throughout the year." - Sydney Smith '16
"What I like about Art at Whitfield is that they don't focus on just teaching us how to work with clay or how to paint, they teach us life skills. Everything that we do plays back into the real world. A lot of my projects started off as something that I had heard or something I brought up to Mr. Cano and it turned into learning something about how it relates to me. I want to thank Mr. Cano for giving me something that I will take with me for the rest of my life. I think that it is a very valuable gift to know yourself and love yourself through your art." - Katharine May '16
"We are given the freedom from our teachers to really express ourselves especially as a junior or a senior. Everyone that was assigned with the egg project had a different take. Some students went with a more serious approach while others went with a more playful approach. Whenever we have photography class it is almost like an escape from normal classes to express yourself and joke around and have fun, but learn more about yourself. Ms. Foster has really helped me through a lot not only with photography, but with life as well. I will always cherish our friendship." - Lou Steinberg '16
"In Art, you have the freedom to go in any direction that you really want to. My photography teacher, Ms. Foster, always makes me push myself so I am not doing the same art over and over. I have really expand my art during my time here at Whitfield. I would like to thank Ms. Foster because she has helped me a lot through the past two and a half years." - David Webb '16
"I think that Art at Whitfield is fun because we really get to do whatever we want. Art really allows people to express themselves. I want to thank my art teacher, Mr. Daniels, because we had some great discussions. Honestly, Mr. Daniels and I disagree on most things, but it is fun to have conversations and to be able to disagree with your teacher." - Meredith Binnette '16
"I think that if Whitfield was supposed to be well known for something, it would be well known for art, just like John Burroughs is known for their academics. It is nice that Whitfield allows students to take four years of art. I like how we have many different branches of art like painting, ceramics, and graphic design. I want to thank my art teacher, Mr. Daniels, for allowing me to have the freedom to do whatever I wanted. He also has helped me push myself and break the boundaries of what I thought I could do. He showed me I could do way more than I thought I could." - Brigid Dolan '16
"I like that the art classes are small so it allows my art teacher, Mr. Cano, to have a lot of one-on-one time with my class. He was able to help me learn how to get better. It is really nice that we don't have to many kids in one class. I'd like to thank my art teacher, Mr. Cano, for everything that he has taught me. He has taught me patience at times when I get frustrated." - Grace Shapiro '16
"Art at Whitfield is free and you are able to do what you want. You are able to really express yourself. You have many options that you can choose from. I went from photography to ceramics. I wanted to try something different so I had the option to switch to ceramics. Ms. Foster and Mr. Cano are pretty chill and they are very helpful. If you have a problem you can tell them, and they'll tell you to focus on the positive side and not the negative side. They always try to keep you from thinking anything negative about your project and instead they tell you about ways to improve." - Bola Fatoki '16
“I like how the Whitfield Studio Art Program pushes students past their typical media. As a photo student, I was encouraged to try new medium, think outside the box, and create visual messages. Ms. Foster is such a creative and intelligent person, making her an amazing photography teacher. She doesn't let anyone settle for anything less than their personal best and always knows how to bring out each artists' individual strengths. I would like to thank her for pushing me past my comfort zone and never letting me settle.” - Shayna Ditter ‘16
The Little Mermaid is about a mermaid named Ariel (Emma Severson) who is mesmerized with everything on land. Ariel continuously visits the surface hoping to see humans and their treasures. Her father, King Triton (Josh Paine) forbid her to go up to the surface, but Ariel did not listen to her father. On one of her visits to the surface she falls in love with Prince Eric (Mac Wylie). Ariel longed to be with Prince Eric so she decided to make a dangerous deal with the sea witch Ursula (Jewell Paine) to become a human for three days.
The Little Mermaid Musical was definitely a must see! The plot of this musical was very easy to understand. The actors did a great job portraying all the scenes. Every character did a great job putting their mind into the character that they were playing. Overall, everyone did an outstanding performance.
The cast loved being part of this wonderful show. Yes, there were some hardships throughout the way, but overall the cast loved being in The Little Mermaid. For proof, check out the quotes from the cast!
"My favorite part of the show is the friends that you make during the show and the fun traditions that go on after the shows such as going to Steak and Shake, Uncle Bills, etc. This year the musical was pushed a week or two forward because of Passover, so that shifted our time schedule a lot, which meant there was a good amount of work to do over spring break. Prince Eric was a nice role because I got to be a human the entire time and got to wear people clothes. The cast was amazing this year and overall I think this was a great show. Having this be my last school production, I can reflect back on how much theater has impacted my high school career. It's been a great time, and I wouldn't have rather gone out with any other people in the school. " - Mac Wylie '16 (Prince Eric)
"My favorite part was curtain call. I love the dance numbers and I love singing, but when we all come out during the end all together as one cast, it's magical. It was very difficult for me because it was my first show, but I was also a senior. So there were so many rules and expectations I was expected to know as a senior but I didn't. I am so happy to be a part of the musical this year. I absolutely LOVED the Little Mermaid and I felt it was the best musical Whitfield has had in years. I am very glad I decided to do the musical. It was a huge time commitment, but I love performing and I was glad I could explore this side of Whitfield before I graduate." - Lily Crandall '16 (Alana)
"My favorite part of the show was being able to work such an incredibly talented cast and crew. I'm not the best dancer, so Under The Sea was a bit difficult for me to learn and attempt to perfect the routine. This musical was some of the best times I had in a show. Everything was so much fun and it was a great way to go out. I am incredibly lucky to be part of such a wonderful group of kids who are dedicated to theatre, and put their best work towards the outcome of the shows. I will miss everyone very much, and I'm so glad to have shared the stage with amazing people." - Joey Yazdi '16 (Chef Louis)
"My favorite part of the whole show was seeing it all come together in our first full run-through. Before this, I really only got to see my scenes and a few extras but nothing as amazing as seeing all the lights, sounds, and people come together. The show takes up a lot of time, especially the weekends. I knew that going in so I made sure I was as clear as could be for the last two months. It gets especially hard in the last week before the show, rehearsals run into the night, you start incorporating new pieces with lights and sound making it like a new show every night. But in the end it was all well worth the hard work. Also, did I mention that my costume was about 150 degrees? This show was a blast from start to finish. This was the first time I really stepped out of my comfort zone and took a singing part. Playing as Scuttle was just so much fun and allowed me to have a lot of freedom while I was on stage. Also, great work to the props and lighting groups, they made the show amazing with crazy coral and amazing water effects. Finally, I would like to thank the cast and crew for making my last show so amazing. I will always remember my time under the sea, and I will miss you guys next year. Thank you!" - Max Walter '16 (Scuttle)
"My favorite thing about the show would have to be, working with the people that I love most. I consider the theater kids a second family to me. I think that one of the hardest things when working on the show was (of course) making the show the best it can be, but also maintaining my life outside of the show. It can be difficult when you have to be prepared and in character for your scenes but also schoolwork, outside activities and family events are things that you also have to focus on. The entire cast and crew really look out for one another and that is a big deal when it comes down to the moment you step on stage. I also think that the whole production was solid and well put together and only Mrs. Allen could make that possible. " - Liam Dean '19 (Flotsam)
