Hi there!

Hey, I'm Emilie. I'm from Columbia, LA (little town south of Monroe). We don't even have a Wal-Mart. I'm a senior art major and hopefully heading to LSU next year for grad school in architecture.

I enjoy getting to know new people and traveling so that makes draw NY all that much more appealing to me. Love thrilling things like stunt planes and mtn climbing but also enjoy reading and being a couch potato. Almost all of my money goes to good food and live music.  I have a dog, Petey, who is a great little walking buddy and tail-wagger. 

On this trip, I would like to further my drawing skills and learn how to let my drawing environment influence my work. I'm excited to figure out how to portray such a fast pace city on a single piece of paper.

hey gang! my name is robert and i'll be a senior this fall. i am from jackson, ms and my major is art...emphasis in graphic design. i have been in oxford all summer taking summer school, so i CANNOT WAIT to get out of here and get to new york. i've been to new york about 4 times, and i see a different side of it every time i go; that is why i love it. i have never been to all the museums, or seen it from a strictly artistic point of view before, and that is what i am so excited about. also, i think we are all going to have an aweeeeesome time. i mean cmon, how can we not??

see yall tomorrow!

hello everybody, my name is wyatt harris. I am from Memphis, Tennessee and went to high school at Memphis University School where I played lacrosse for six years and served as an executive member on the civic service board. I have a little brother who will be a senior in high school this year. I love NBA basketball and college football, and hip-hop/rap is my favorite genre of music. 

I hope to strengthen my drawing skills during this class and experience new york in a different way. I have been before, but for leisure, so I am excited to draw and be in New York!

hey everyone! i'm so excited to be in new york with all of you. this will be my second trip to the big apple. i'd like to tell you a few things about me so you can know me a little better! i was raised in ridgeland, ms. i have a brother and a sister both younger than me. i attended jackson prep in middle and high school. although i'm not that good at yoga i love it. i also like photography, traveling, biking and just hanging out. i plan to work at the brilliant easel this fall.

I hope to gain more knowledge about art throughout the trip. I would love to come home with some drawings i could use in my portfolio. Next semester will be my junior year and  I will apply for my BFA in graphic design. I hope the knowledge I gain will help me succeed with my future career plans.

cant wait to learn more about all of you,

xoxo
