Student Art Used at the Capitol
Anna (Grade 12 / Coon Rapids Learning Center) Originally published May 2004Anna, a senior at Coon Rapids Learning Center, loves drawing cartoons. She also loves a good joke. Anna put these interests to good use while designing an informational poster on Buckthorn, an invasive plant species, for an environmental class. Her instructor thought the poster was quite effective: it was an original drawing, humorous, and addressed the envirornmental impact of the plant. So, her instructor passed it on to some people involved with environmental issues. It ended up in the hands of some people at the state level. Anna’s hard work and creativeness paid off. The poster was recently used at the state capital in a hearing on Buckthorn and the environmental impact of the plant species. Way to go Anna!
