"Alex is an incredible artist who skillfully creates visual art using many different mediums. Alex excels in many areas of art, but has a particular interest in sketching and drawing. Much of his work is inspired by nature, particularly sea life. Using reference images, Alex carefully incorporates fine details into his work, bringing his drawings to life. As an English language learner, Alex has used art as a way of connecting and communicating with his classmates. Sharing his creations has prompted conversations, allowing Alex and his classmates to learn from each other" writes Hailey Goodman, Alex's teacher.
