Wingspan: If you could describe yourself with a catchphrase, what would it be and why?
Jaeger: “I would say creative because I always like coming up with different things. Like, especially in art class.”
Wingspan: Who is your biggest hero or influence?
Jaeger: “I would say my biggest influence would probably be my dad because he takes care of me and my sister a lot, and drives us to school and does a lot of paperwork.”
Wingspan: What do you want to do in the future? Also, is your path related to art?
Jaeger: “Yes, my path is related to art. I want to get a BFA in art education when I grow up, to be an art teacher.”
Wingspan: Do you know what college you are aiming for?
Jaeger: “I don’t know what college specifically, but my three top would be UNT, UT Arlington, and UT Tyler.”
Wingspan: Do you have a certain art style?
Jaeger: “I do. But because I was online for the whole last year, I’ve kind of lost my style. I’m trying to regain it back this year.”
Wingspan: If you could describe your art style, how would you?
Jaeger: “I draw more realistic people. I’ve done anime style, but I want to try to focus on a more realistic approach in painting.”
Wingspan: What motivates you to work hard?
Jaeger: “Probably deadlines and like the people around me. I just see them working hard, so I try to push myself forward, too.”
Wingspan: How does that have an influence on you? The people around you.
Jaeger: “Basically their behaviors, the way they act. Some days are really good days and that also affects me.”
Wingspan: What is your proudest accomplishment? Is it related to fine arts?
Jaeger: “Yes! So this year actually, I auditioned and I got into drill team. That was probably one of my proudest moments.”
Wingspan: Is there a message you want to send through your art? How do you want that to impact society?
Jaeger: “Through my art, I’ve always wanted different people to see different things in my art. I didn’t want just one message. I wanted it to be a specific message for each person, so when they look at it, they think ‘oh that was made for me’.”
Wingspan: Finally, can you describe a situation where a person or place influenced one of your pieces?
Jaeger: “I would definitely say my art teachers have influenced my pieces by giving me critiques.”
Bohemian Grove
In this week’s Conspiracies and You, staff reporter Aden McClune talks about Bohemian Grove.
Founded in 1872, the Bohemian Club, most commonly referred to as simply “Bohemian Grove” is a private club in the San Francisco area where the rich and powerful meet to do… what they do. What actually occurs in the 2,500-acre plot is highly contested, with very little actual footage, but a few interviews and tapes. Former U.S President Richard Nixon called it in the famous Nixon tapes as the “most f***y god d*** thing I’ve ever seen.”
Due to the club’s secrecy, little is known. However, filmmaker Alex Jones snuck into the club in 2000, and captured footage, showing the “Cremation of the Care” a small human effigy burned in a ritual during the several days long gathering.
Notable guests have included five U.S presidents, including the aforementioned Richard Nixon, as well as Herbert Hoover, Ronald Reagan, as well as Henry Kissenger, and Clint Eastwood, among others.
The official, or most widely known events and theatrics are the Cremation of Care, “Lakeside Talks”, which are informal speeches given about policy, and information not known to the public.
The secret club takes place every July, and who knows? Perhaps you’ll find yourself there among the rich and famous one day.
