Vargas believes the art program at Lincoln is great because she feels like there’s many of opportunities to learn the elements of art. Lion Tales asked Vargas to describe in a few words about the art program. Vargas said “It’s relaxing and people have creative vibes but you can also feel sense of crazy because people stress over to finish their art piece before their deadlines.”
