My name is Alyssandra Scaffidi. I'm a senior at Ronald Reagan high school. Both of my parents have art degrees, and I have cousins who are filmmakers and writers, so i'm growing up in a family of artists and creators. I've always liked to draw, and I've grown to love taking pictures and making films as well. Art class has always been one of my favorite classes because I find art relaxing, yet challenging at the same time. In general, I like to push the norms of society by expressing myself and by creating art.
