The Featured Artist of the 2000-2001 school year is MacKenzi Hocking, who is a 12 years old 6th grader.  I like art because it gives me a whole personality.  Mackenzi thought preparing a project like this would give her a new experience.

It took her about a month to start and finish the project.  She got the idea from an art enrichment book supplied by her art teacher, Mrs. Spykerman.  It was fun to do.  It is as easy as math is to any other student.  Mackenzi says, If I wasn't like the way I am today, I would probably not like art.
