1. Who is Ms. Self, and why is she so interested in my art ?
Ms Self is Wingspan's sponsor. She is amazing! She is interested in your art because we all want to see it.

2. I have some paintings and stuff I want to be exhibited in the magazine, but I don't want to give Wingspan my original. What do I do ?
Good question... You may scan your art onto a computer and then send the file you scanned to Wingspan. If you do not have access to a scanner at home, please contact the Computer Resource Specialists in room 136 at school, and you will be assisted as soon as possible.

3. Wingspan sounds cool, but my work just isn't that good....
What?!?! No! No one's art is "too bad" to be shared. It might not be published (there is limited space in each issue), but it definitely warrants attention if you have put your time, effort, emotion, and thought into it. There is no such thing as the "perfect" work. So don't worry about submitting something that wouldn't get you an A in English class. One of the best aspects of Wingspan is that because your peers will be able to read/view/hear and then critique and laud your work, you are enabled to grow quickly as a writer/painter/photographer/musician/human being.

4. Wingspan is something I would like to get more involved with, beyond just submitting work. What am I to do?
Come to a meeting... If you wish to become involved with Wingspan on a higher level, come to a meeting or talk to Ms. Self (room 101) or any other member of the leadership team.

So glad you asked! Of course, any and all advice is welcome from those with experience in the publishing world. Also, if you would like to donate, you may make a check payable to Cox High School (marked Wingspan) and submit it to the main office or any member of Wingspan.
