Alyssa Casemier, Bluffton High School junior, is the Icon's BHS artist of the month. She has already taken Art 1, Design 1, Design 2 and Ceramics 1.
Aylssa hopes to pursue an art education degree in college.
She says this about art: "When I am called an artist it is the greatest compliment that I can receive. With art, I have an outlet in which I can express my many personal experiences and how I see the world around me. Art is more than just a hobby for me, it is my life. Without it, I would be voiceless."
Chase Eikenbary of Jazzercise Bluffton invites Icon viewers to stop in for a Jazzercise class this week.
Classes are held at Bluffton University’s Sommer Center.
“Jazzercise is a pulse-pound, beat-pumping fitness program that gets you results,” she said. “It’s a calorie-torching, hip swiveling dance party with a hot playlist to distract you from the burn.”
