I am a student at the High School of Art and Design. Currently a sophomore and I specialize in illustration.
Well in school you don't gain any awards unless you enter some sort of contest and win. But I've always had some of the highest grades for my illustration projects and sometimes for my computer art class. Matter a fact for my first year of high school, I earned an 100 in my portfolio for the year. I also don't doubt the possibility of me getting a high grade for portfolio of my second year of high school, which is my first year as an illustration major.
