November’s Artist of the Month is senior Dan Romer. Having been interested in art from early on, Dan took advantage of the numerous classes offered by Saint Ignatius’s fine arts department. He currently takes Advanced Drawing and Photography, both taught by Mr. Steward.
Particularly in photography, Dan has captured impressive scenes from ordinary subjects and situations. His work does not go unnoticed in his class, as classmate Dennis Kless ‘19 put it, “Dan’s work with portraits was marvelous.” This can be seen in the double exposure image pictured here.
Another example of Dan’s taking an everyday subject, in this case a student in the 6th floor classroom, and giving it a more interesting and unique perspective is also pictured. Dan’s art is a product of the practice he’s had throughout high school. With this experience and the techniques he’s learned from his teachers, Dan can continue to make great art well beyond high school.
