Senior Jasmine Lockwood has always been involved in the creative sectors of what CMR’s myriad of extracurricular activities provide, but as a senior Lockwood decided to take a less supervised route.

 

Involved in drama and choir from previous years in high school, Lockwood decided to take her creative side to the next level as a senior by taking art workshop.

 

“I’ve always loved to draw, sing, and write music,” she said.

 

However, as her senior year progressed, Lockwood decided to take things down a bit more untraditional road and to incorporate all her talents into one by doing an independent study under art teacher Theresa Jacobs’ supervision.

 

“It all started because I needed to fill my schedule,” Lockwood said, but she admits that she’s enjoyed the experience so far.

 

“I’m working on a project right now where I’m assigned another student’s art piece, and I have to write a song about it,” Lockwood said.
She said that her favorite part of her independent study is being able to incorporate all her interests into a grade, and that she recommends independent study for anyone looking for a more creative, non-traditional route to school.
