For the past few years, The Violet, the school literary arts magazine has been inactive, but this year it was revived. A group of students decided to restore the magazine and bring it back onto students’ radars. The magazine publishes any student art, including visual art, videos, music, photography, poems, short stories, and more.
“We just wanted to restart it and see what happened because it fell off. The goal was to find students who want to publish their art and put them out just because there’s no other publication in the school that does that right now,” said junior magazine editor Brevyn Wethington.
Every month the magazine has a theme that people can submit art based on, whether it’s something they created in the past that fits the theme, or something they created specifically for it.
“We like to say that we’re the one-stop shop for all things creative at Littleton. If people write, if they make music, if they make videos, if they make individual art, we want all of that,” said senior magazine president Max Orr.
The magazine hopes to see more student art submissions and to continue to grow content on its website.
“We’re trying to get visibility out there so that people feel like they can submit because that’s what we’re looking for right now, just to get our name back out there just because it hasn’t been a thing for three years, so people don’t really know about it,” said Orr. “If we’re able to at the end of the year, we’re wanting to make an anthology of some of our favorite submissions over the year and then send that out for the student body to have,”
If you’re a student who loves to create, you should definitely check out The Violet’s website, accessible through the LHS webpage.
