CENTREVILLE â Queen Anneâs County High School senior Annika Liimatainen is an outstanding visual arts student in Stephanie Zeilerâs new honors level 2-D Portfolio Development art class. This course is the fall semester class that accompanies the new spring Advanced Placement 2-D Art and Design course. This is just the second year Queen Anneâs County Public Schools is offering the new Advanced Placement Visual Arts classes, and Annika is soaring.
Annika is also a member of Zeilerâs National Art Honor Society, and she has developed her artistic voice through the process of âVisual Journaling,â which Supervisor of Fine Arts Michael Bell describes as âa way to record lifeâs experiences, feelings, emotional reactions, or oneâs own inner voice visually and verbally in a sketchbook, which often leads to larger works.â
