Happy Black History Month! In honor of Black History Month, BAHS will have many events each week in the media center, and an artist will be highlighted. Along with being highlighted, their art will be displayed outside of the media center.  

There are many events during this month to talk about, but this week it’s time to highlight a certain artist, Jordyn Brown. Her artwork was also featured recently in the Harford County NAACP.

In this feature, Jordyn says that this piece titled “Dangerous Animal,” was inspired by her father. Accordin to Brown’s bio displayed in the library, this piece was made to show the difference between how society sees black men and what she sees in her father; a protector and a supporter. In an interview, Brown also stated this piece portrays a concept that people would “get” just by looking at it, but could also create their own interpretation.  

This piece is important to her because of how much she cherishes it. It is also reassurance for her when it comes to her art. “It’s the first piece that I’m still satisfied with to this day,” Brown said. “It’s really nice to paint my dad.” 

You can see more of Brown’s artwork featured all around Bel Air High School and at Harford County Public Schools Central Office.
