Rebekah Walker, Ada High School senior, is the Icon's February artist of the month.

Rebekah is currently in Art 4.  She has taken Art 1, Art 2, and Art 3.

"Art has always been a part of my life," she said. "I remember in eighth grade Mr. Wells saw a drawing I was doing and told me that he really wanted me to take high school art. I've taken art every year since. In my free time I enjoy creating drawings and paintings for friends."  

Rebekah stands beside a picture of pop bottles that she painted on top of pop bottle caps.

"Believe it or not, it was originally going to be a picture of a 'fox' but, this just made more sense to me," she said.

Medicine at Midnight is the tenth studio album by American rock band Foo Fighters. Scheduled for 2020, the album was delayed to February 5, 2021 due to the pandemic. Three singles were released ahead of the album: “Shame Shame,” “No Son of Mine,” and "Waiting on a War.”

Dave Grohl called Medicine at Midnight the Foo Fighters’ “Saturday night party album.” It functions as an acknowledgment that the band is often not “fun.” Foo Fighters address that by jumping into disco and dance, the syncopations and polyrhythms. Big riffs battle with the kind of nagging singalong choruses the band has avoided over the years. And it works well.
