Hey, My name is Jasmine. I attend Benjamin N. Cardozo High School
in Queens, where I also live. My hobbies are dancing, hanging out
with my friends and family, and working with Youth Insights
at the Whitney Museum. I enjoy helping others and learning new and
different things, which is why I joined Youth Insights. I
found out about Youth Insights from my art teacher. I went
on a few trips to the Whitney Museum with her and her students,
and when she found out about this program she told a couple of my
friends and me about it. My friends and I were interested, so we
went to the recruitment day. I filled out an application, sent it
in, got a call for an interview, then another call for a second
interview, and finally I'm a part of this great program.
I enjoy Youth Insights because it is a program where teenagers
from all around the different boroughs, schools, and races get a
chance to learn about artists and their paintings, and share our
information with our peers. We do this by giving Youth2Youth Tours.
We give family and senior citizen tours as well. Another reason
that I enjoy Youth Insights is that I have begun to appreciate
art more now than I ever had before. At first I thought I was crazy,
joining a program that related to art, but experience in art was
not needed. Being a part of Youth Insights helped me to realize
that art does not necessarily have to be a picture or a painting,
it can be a sculpture, building, a piece of clothing, even myself.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I also enjoy Youth Insights
because of the tours. The tours are so much fun. The interaction
from the audience is amazing. You get to see what other people think
about art. At the Whitney, everyone is so nice, and ready to help
if anyone is in need. I love Youth Insights!
