Artist of the Week - Maria Landeros is a senior in art. Maria has been an art room star since the day she walked in the door. Maria has won many awards over the years here at TC for her art. She has excelled in both 2D and 3D art forms. Outside of being a student, Maria has her own business where she sells some of her artistic creations. The featured piece this week is Maria's senior tile. This piece measures 4' x 2' and will stay at school. It is an excellent example of her ability and effort. Stunning, just like Maria. She will be very missed next year, but we are so proud of all she has accomplished.
