What would the violation, or lack of consideration for, animal rights look like? I always took an interest in animals and spent a lot of time caring for them. I believe that they deserve the world and should be recognised as beings who care and are important to the environment and others.
Future Plans
I plan to study art education at the University of Montana this fall.
CHRISTOPHER LAVERDURE, JR, JUNIOR
Sustained Investigation Inquiry
How has the sport of bowling evolved over the years? I've always taken an interest in bowling, but my interest has changed over the past year.
Future Plans
Already part of the workforce, Chris plans to graduate early next year to pursue his continued interests and expand his employment.
OSIRES MARTINEZ, SENIOR
Sustained Investigation Inquiry
In what ways does generational trauma express itself? I thought it was a very serious topic that would be interesting to try and portray in an art form. A lot of people suffer from generational trauma and a lot of the emotions experienced are very complicated, hard to put into words, so why not express it another way?
Future Plans
Osires plans to take a gap year with the intent of studying graphic design in the future.
JAYDA FROHLICH, JUNIOR
Sustained Investigation Inquiry
How do our dreams relate to real life? I always had some wacky dreams and I've always wondered why we have dreams and how they connect to real life.
Future Plans
Next year Jayda will continue to study visual and performing arts with the intent to study art education when they graduate in 2024.
MAIDA CUNNINGHAM, JUNIOR
Sustained Investigation Inquiry
What would the alternate worlds look like as well as what types of creatures would occupy them? I've always loved thinking about these cool fantasy creatures and how they live. These guys work so differently to us. How is that accommodated in their day-to-day life? I then started to think about how this could be linked to real world disabilities. Everyone works differently and will need different accommodations, just like these guys!
Future Plans
Maida will be a senior next year and over the course of that year intends to reflect and determine their next steps past gradaution.
