Tiyonna Baker, a summer apprentice making impacts on her fellow apprentices within the first week, shares her interests and goals with BYA!
What are you doing with BYA this summer?
-
Tiyonna is enrolled in Faith’s photography class, Miss L and Mathilde’s fashion design class, and has been working with Makaila on goal development and career plans. Apart from keeping busy with BYA’s classes, Tiyonna is also a member of the Games committee and Showcase committee where she is helping organize the summer showcase, planning food preparation, and panning out ideas and music.
What is the most interesting thing you have learned this summer?
-
Photography and meeting new people that enjoy the same things and same interest in art. Tiyonna hopes to gain more hobbies, like photography and sewing.
What has been your favorite project so far?
-
Tiyonna’s favorite project, so far, has been dyeing the clothes and making her own piece of clothing. She got to learn how to take measurements and get better at drawing and crafting which she is excited to do on her own in the future.
What is something that you are looking forward to this summer?
-
Tiyonna is looking forward to sharing her artwork with everyone and seeing how everybody’s projects turn out at the showcase!
Has this class impacted the type of art you want to make? If so, how?
-
It has! The fashion classes have inspired her to start designing her own clothes. The class with faith has helped her take photos more seriously, intentionally, and in depth to help benefit herself and her future. Tiyonna is looking forward to starting her own business in art and later come out with her own clothing line, which she’s already been working on.
What do you want to do when you’re older/career interest?
-
Go to college and get a masters in zoology or veterinary medicine!
People have helped her look at things differently and helped her realize there are other ways to do things that she can use in the future, such as making clothes and taking photos. Tiyonna is already having fun and enjoying her time at BYA!
