About the Contributors
Brianna Lopez, Illustrator
First-year Brianna Lopez, 12 is her first time coming into Newspaper as an artist. Her passion for art has led to her creating many innovative pieces known to DHS. Although her future plans are unclear Martinez definitely wants to go into a major involving artistic development. Lopez also aims to help spread positive messages throughout her community in the form of art.
For someone who is a little introverted, her social skills are definitely an eye-catcher. Lopez believes her artwork has a voice that's meant to be heard. “Art brings me joy because it’s a way I can interpret my own ideas and thoughts into something that’s personal and feels connected to,” Lopez stated. “I can definitely improve because I'm taking AP Art because I feel like I can dive deeper into myself and kinda like to investigate what I wanna do with my art, you can never stop learning, especially about yourself.”
Amanda Rubio, Videographer
Amanda Rubio, 12, returns for her second year at The Downey Legend as a videographer. Rubio is passionate about videography, film, and everything to do behind a camera. In the future, Rubio plans to put her passion into action and major in film at her dream school NYU. One of Rubios’ goals is to one day open a producing company/agency and become a director or executive producer, specifically, directing/producing action films. Rubio's love for videography, film, and photography allows her to express her creativity through editing clips during her free time. Rubio’s great sense of humor along with her caring personality and creativity, make up to form a huge asset to the newspaper. “I am a videographer again this year but I am so excited to try and venture out into fundraising and photography,” says Rubio. “I am also excited to join many new clubs this year like the ASL club.”
