Painting, Sculpture, More: The Tennessean Student of the Week Is All about Art. Vote Now

Katherine Conatser is a senior at Montgomery Central High School in Clarksville, Tenn., with a GPA of 4.0, has been in the art department for four years, has completed art one, two, and three, and is currently enrolled in Advanced Placement Studio Design.

"She always strives to challenge herself and takes creative risks that she doesn't always feel comfortable doing, but she pushes herself to explore and experiment something we don't always see with students in our departments," her art teacher tells the Tennessean.

Conatser was named the state's student of the week for drama last month, and was named the Tennessean's student of the year for visual arts in May.

"When viewing her drawings, one has the distinct awareness of the presence of her artistic subjects and easily becomes curious as to the underlying personal force behind them," a teacher says.

Conatser plans to attend Middle Tennessee State University in the fall to study sculpture.
