Hello readers! We are back to our regularly scheduled content! The second semester and all of its chaos will soon be upon me but I know I won’t be the only one caught in its web.
Today I am featuring someone who I can say is the definition of consistent with his aesthetic in both his style, decor, and art! He IS Halloween, and I am convinced his power grows the closer we get to the holiday every year.
I would like to introduce you all to…
Santo Schiavone!
A freshman Illustration major, Santo illustrates spooky scenes and characters!
Major: Illustration
Minor: Business
Graduation Year: 2027
I am majoring in Art because…
Art is something that brings joy into my life. Therefore, I want art to be a part of my future career!
The kinds of things that inspire me are…
I am inspired by anything related to horror or Halloween. I am an extreme Halloween enthusiast.
My favorite art class so far was…
2D Design and Color.
When I am not in class…
I draw on my iPad, sketch in my sketchbook, play video games, and work two part-time jobs. During the Halloween season, I dedicate myself full-time to Spirit Halloween. For the 2023 season, I was an Assistant Manager.
The coolest thing I have done at Marywood so far was…
Get artwork featured in First Friday Scranton October.
When I graduate…
I want to continue my future with Spirit Halloween. Spirit designs most of its products in-house, and I would like to be a part of that design team.
I would recommend the Art program at Marywood because…
It offers a wide range of opportunities and a variety of different majors. Also, many great professors strive to bring out the best in our creativity!
Here is some spooky artwork from Santo!
Unique aesthetics and consistency are something artists strive for when trying to make their art stand out among others. I can confidently say that Santo’s work stands out as not only does his artwork evoke the Halloween spirit but his style and decor do as well!
I hope you all enjoyed today’s Student Spotlight! Thank you for reading!
Sephora, out <3
