Annalise Nisly, a Bluffton High School junior, is the Bluffton Icon's student artist of the month.
She has taken Art one, ceramics one and ceramics two.
" I enjoy ceramics because working with clay in my hands is calming and therapeutic to me," she said. "I especially like this project because I have a lot of creative freedom and I get to be working on one of the most fascinating ecosystems on the earth: the coral reef."
Here plans after high school include college, but specific plans are undecided. Vickie Garmon is the Bluffton HS art teacher.
The Ada Icon found Holly Metzger, Bluffton University enrollment counselor, looking for 2019 ONU grads who may be interested in pursuing an MBA or Master of Arts in Organizational Management degree.
