All through art

By Sierra Takushi

As a junior, Sierra is a staff writer and photos/graphics editor for The Talon. She has a quirky fascination with slam and spoken word poetry and finds straight angle shapes (like squares) visually pleasing. Sierra enjoys exploring different types of writing and literature and likes to post her photography frequently on Instagram.

Today’s chapel was titled the ‘Arts Chapel’ by showcasing different mediums of student artwork, and it focused on the beauty of God-given talents.

Junior Sierra Takushi recited an original spoken word poem, seniors Gabbi Johnson and Lily Askegaarde performed a self-coreographed dance and juniors Eli Aronson and Matthew Humason delivered an adopted short skit. The chapel service also included a time-laspe video collage of nature and sand art depicting Jesus’ life.
