Student spotlight: Serena Corbin Senior shares memories of summer at Governor's School for the Arts Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Wes Feese Media Relations, Adair County Schools The Adair County School District's dedication to college and career readiness over the past few years has almost overshadowed another, equally important emphasis that has slid under the radar: arts and humanities. While job training and technical skills are rightfully lauded for the practical benefits they beget, the district continues to foster creativity and artistic expression in its students. No student better exemplifies this success than Serena Corbin, an Adair County High School senior who spent part of her summer break at Centre College in Danville, KY, with gifted art students from across the state. Studying at the Governor's School for the Arts program, Corbin learned from some of Kentucky's top art instructors and honed her considerable skills in sketching and ceramics. "Those are probably my favorites, so that's what I did most of the time," Corbin says. "I like it because it's a great way to express yourself." Admission into the GSA program is competitive, and Corbin was subjected to an audition process before she was declared eligible to attend. According to her teacher, Cayce Davenport, it came as no surprise that Corbin made the cut. "Serena is one of the quietest students I have ever had--period--but her art truly does the talking," Davenport says. "She is as humble as she is gifted, and beneath that meek exterior beats a fiercely creative heart. She's amazing." Davenport believes that Corbin has a bright future in the arts. She says her dedication is unmatched, and that GSA only made that passion even more intense. "I feel like GSA provided her further validation and gave her courage to pursue art as a career," Davenport says. "We have already been talking about colleges and building her portfolio. I'm so proud of her." Corbin says her experience at GSA will benefit her both in her artistic aspirations and in her day-to-day tasks and schoolwork. "The biggest thing I learned was how to accept failure," she explains. "That's important in art and in life, because it's never going to be perfect." This story was posted on 2016-08-23 12:10:23
