My Favorite “Original” Song – Billie Elliott

By

Talent Statement

“I’ve started singing since my Dad told me to join Kids Choir (I was 7 or 8. Somewhere in my younger days). I didn’t enjoy it at first but growing up; I started to enjoy it. So now I’ve joined the adult’s choir. I also joined the college choir last semester (I couldn’t join this semester because I’m doing other classes for my major, Sign Language, that the academic advisor told me to do).

Happy to join the talent show! 🙂!“

Amazing Grace – Rendition by Jermaine Windham

By

Talent Statement

“Hello! My name is Jermaine Windham. I attended SWIC in order to finish off my gen eds and transfer my credits to a university. I love to both write and sing, and I am planning on double majoring in both Business Administration & Communications! With the challenges we have been facing this tough year,

I thought deeply about how I wanted to showcase my talents for this talent show. I decided to go with a song that I’ve known about for as long as I could remember. A song that highlights the value of hope in times where it may be easy to lose one’s self and believe that all hope is lost.

It’s a powerful song with a deep meaning that I believe could help heal some feelings of fear and despair that some may be feeling during these strenuous times. I hope you all enjoy my rendition of Amazing Grace! Please take care of yourselves and be safe.” – Windham

Duct Tape COVID-19 Prom Dress – Peyton Manker

By

Talent Statement

“While in quarantine, I have been creating my duct tape prom dress while watching tons of broadway shows on YouTube and Netflix shows! I came up with the idea to make my dress due to the impact the coronavirus had on the world.

It was originally for the Stuck At Prom scholarship contest held by the duct tape company Duck Brand. This is the first time I have made a wardrobe out of duct tape as well as artwork, however, I remember making duct tape wallets and flowers when I was 10 years old.

This is my first year at SWIC but I wish I was able to experience the school in person this year, but I am looking forward to it next year. From what I have experienced already, the teachers seem amazing and are always ready to help when it is needed!” – Manker

Shar Pei – Kerra Hayes

By

Talent Statement

“This piece was a commission of a friend’s dog done in April of this year. I’ve been doing art for as long as I remember and took art classes from ages 11 to 16 at Hall of Frames.

I enjoy drawing and clay sculpting, and have attempted painting, but my favorite medium is using pastels.

I have taken two classes at SWIC learning about the history of art and art of different cultures and have enjoyed both of them, and I would like to take classes in the future to learn how to create different types of art.”
