Spotlight on the Arts: Zoe Denson
“Spotlight on the Arts” by The Paradise Center honors and encourages students in the arts by highlighting their talent and acknowledging the support they receive through their schools and teachers.
Zoe Denson is a great example of the youth we want to highlight. She is talented, continues to stretch her capabilities, and has produced numerous examples of what she can already do. At 15 years of age, she will be entering the 10th grade at Thompson Falls High School. Her teacher, Mr. Micah Grossberg, the art education specialist for grades 7 – 12, recognizes Zoe’s potential.
The work shown in this article is black on white or grey paper. Some of her work is created with pen or pencil and at other times using what is generally known as a “wash” technique using a brush and paint. In all her work, she achieves tone and shading through varying the density of a single color. That alone, is challenging for an artist. Yet, she portrays her subjects in naturalistic representation and captures remarkable emotional expression. We understand the emotion of each person just by looking at their face. Another challenge for an artist.
