About Me
My name is Tia Mitchell and I am currently a Senior at Niles West High School in Skokie, Illinois. While at Niles West, I have taken Art Foundations, Theater, Digital photo 1, Painting & Drawing, Advanced 2-D Design, and AP 2D Design. As I have been involved in the fine arts from a young age, my love for the arts comes naturally at this point. Digital Photography is one of my favorite forms of art. Focusing on the reflections within photographs is something that I have been interested in lately. Outside of the fine arts, I am a member of the Niles West Cheerleading team, Niles West UNICEF club, Niles West President of NAHS, and participate in Niles West Greek club.
