from when the rapper was a high-school student are now worth thousands of dollars, according to an appraiser.
Art specialist Laura Woolley evaluated five portraits and landscapes by West and determined that the collection could sell at an auction for up to $23,000, the Chicago Tribune reported.
One of West's cousins received the artwork after the hip-hop star's mother, Donda West, died in 2007. West, now 42, graduated from Polaris High School in 1995 and studied art at the American Academy of Art and Chicago State University. Rhonda Levy, who was one of his high school art teachers, said West's two largest works featured on the show were class assignments. She described West as a talented and supremely confident student.
"It's just so weird having little Kanye as a freshman, and then here he is now one of the most famous people on Earth," Levy said.
