ARTIST PROFILE
About Mackenzie Henry
My name is Mackenzie Henry. I live in Montgomery County, Pa. However, in the fall of 2018 I will be attending Penn State University. I plan on majoring in graphic design because I love art and cannot imagine doing anything different. In high school I took many studio art classes, including AP Studio Art. I have also taken Computer Art I, Graphic Design, and Photography. I love working in prismacolor pencils, but I also use acrylic paint and sharpies/markers. Besides art, I love going to the beach. I enjoying reading a good book with my toes in the sand. I spend my summers laying on the beach or working in a pizza shop near the beach.
PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
COMPUTER ART CLASS
September 2013Â - January 2014
This class was a basic computer art class. I took this class my freshman year of high school. It taught the basics of how to use Photoshop and edit pictures. I learned mainly useful ways on how to edit and create art through Photoshop.
STUDIO ART
September 2014 - June 2017
I took Studio Art I and III. I skipped Studio Art II because the teachers felt I was advnce enough to move to Art III. I took these classes every day from sophomore year to junior year. These classes taught me how to use many different mediums such as, graphite, acrylic paint, Prismacolor pencils, water color, etc. These class prepared me for AP Studio Art.
AP STUDIO ART
September 2017Â - June 2018
This classes was a very tough and time consuming class. It pushed me to my artist limit. I taught me about time management and hard work. All year we work on art so we can be in the art show at the end of the year. It is a great honor to be in the art show. I sold me first piece during this three day event. I sold four pieces total.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
September 2017Â - January 2018
This is a basic graphic design class. I took it the beginning of my senior year. It taught me how to use Illustrator, which is similar to Photoshop but it is more for drawing rather than editing photos. I also learned how to advertise the products we created. It was a great learning experience and led me to major in graphic design.

I will be attending Penn State University in the fall of 2018 to major in graphic design and minor in business.
