  • Lauren Plonski, grade 12, "Afraid of the Light," colored pencil & graphite, 14x11 in. This piece combines the artist's knowledge of anatomy with her surreal imagination. Layer 1 consists of a thorough anatomical study of the human skull and ribcage. When adding the second layer of work on the duralar, the piece comes alive with technicolor skulls, shapes, and bubbles juxtaposed with a quickly melting candle sitting on the crown of the original skull reminding the viewer of mortality once the initial excitement over the bright colors and shapes gives way to symbols of lost time and death.

  • Smriti Rijal, grade 10, "Angler," micron pen on paper, 13x13 in. Here, Smriti creates a composition of balanced positive and negative space, depicting an angler fish in the process. The space inside the angler fish is filled with various mark-making techniques, playing with line weight and pattern. This drawing, at least in part, was a practice in automatic drawing, which plays with mark-making as a mindful and meditative process.

  • Kate Armstrong, grade 10, "Anne of Green Gables," digital print, 8x10 in. Students were given the assignment of re-designing the cover of a favorite book using their skills in Adobe Illustrator, a vector-based drawing program. Kate's work is a completely original piece that brings life to the character of Anne through thematic color schemes reflective of the story.

  • Heather Hartzell, grade 1, "Art Dog," cut paper/oil pastel/watercolor, 12x14 in. "Art Dog" is a creative story about a dog who works at an art museum by day, and is an artist by night. Combining watercolor resist painting and collage, students created their own "City Rhapsody." Heather's night sky emulates Van Gogh's "Starry, Starry Night" with an emphasis on the contrasting colors to make the stars visually "pop" or stand out. Her attention, also, to the technique of watercolor "wash" is evident throughout the artwork creating a complete and uniform artwork.

  • Steve Rahley, grade 5, "Batter Up," colored pencil, 4.5x12 in. For this assignment, students were asked to visually tell a story. Steve's portrayal of the figure demonstrates his understanding of proportion. The gestures create a sense of actin as the events in the story unfold.

  • Owen McEntee, grade 8, "Biker in Birch Trees," colored pencil & pen, 20x16 in. 8th grade students studied the figure and proportions. Later on, they created movement in figure drawing. Owen decided to create a figure on a bike running through the birch trees. The hint of light between the trees creates an additional interest to the viewer.

  • Cameron Nguyen, grade 2, "Cameron's Comic," pencil, crayon, & marker, 9x12 in. Second graders studied the work of pop artist, Roy Lichtenstein. We focused on sound words in our artwork, which is why you will see so many words like "bark," "boom," and "crash" in Cameron's piece. I'm so impressed by Cameron's typography and use of imagination in her comic strips. It's funny and playful, just like Cameron!

  • Elise Thibeault, kindergarten, "Cave Drawing," oil pastel, 11x14 in. Give or take a couple of hundred years, about 80,000 years ago cave men and women would hunt, gather, and provide food for their families. Cave drawings have provided us with a "day in the life" perspective to better understand how things were then compared to now. Students created their own cave "wall" as a response to a virtual tour through the Lascaux Caves. Elise creates a very clear representation of a "story" that may have been told 80,000 years ago.

  • Hannah Crocker, grade 6, "Clouds," watercolor, 16x9 in. Artists experimented with watercolor in creating clouds along with the landscape. Students are introduced to many different techniques working with color application. Hannah has a sandwiched glowing sun above the landscape with clouds.

  • Bailey Mead, grade 9, "Coil Pot," ceramics, 6x5x5 in. Coil-building is one of the oldest methods of creating ceramic vessels, dating back to prehistoric times. When coil building, there are many challenges to work through, such as rolling even coils, creating symmetry, and making sure the piece can physically stand. If any shortcuts are taken, a coil built pot will crack or crumble. Here, Bailey has passed these hurdles, and created her own take on the coil pot, adding her own twist on a traditional method.

  • Anna LaRowe, grade 8, "Dancing Figures," colored pencil on black construction paper, 20x16 in. Students studied the figure using mannequins in findings proportions that were realistic for the figure. Later on, they took the information and applied clothing and color. Here, Anna has created figures that appear to be dancing.

  • Amelia DeHoff, grade 8, "Dystopian Perspective," graphite, 13x18 in. Students studied three point perspective. They also studied Dystopian living within another assignment. Amelia has combined a dystopian point of view with a barren city scape that is very formal and organized similar to a dystopian society.

  • Joe Knaus, teacher, "Echo," acrylic on canvas, 16x20 in. This abstract piece is a reflection of the feeling of isolation. In a challenging year, most of us felt a need to connect. This piece symbolizes the simple need to connect, whether it be a conversation or a distress signal from miles away. The process was done quickly to emphasize a "reaction" and very little brush work was applied to evoke less "control."

  • Virginia Parton, grade 1, "Elmer," cut paper/colored pencil, 12x14 in. "Elmer's Special Day" is a lovely story about inclusion. Students created their own Elmer focusing on patterns and colors of their choosing. Ginny's artwork illustrates patterns and color that are organized and balanced. Additionally, Ginny creates an environment that shows Elmer is "in front" of the trees and "behind" the grass which is a collage technique emphasized.

  • Addison Liljedahl, grade 5, "Emotion," 9x12 in. For this assignment students were asked to visually portray an emotion. Addison's bold color choice is both energetic and calming. Her mark making creates an implied sense of movement in this piece.

  • Sarah Concagh, grade 10, "Empty Chairs," digital photo, 8x10 in. Artists are continually recording and responding to the world around us. Here, Sarah has captured a moment of time at the beginning of a school year that has been unlike any other. She has used the editing tools in Photoshop to enhance the color and contrast to emphasize a specific feeling of unease and uncertainty.

  • Paulina Derevyanko, grade 10, "Empty Glasses," colored pencil, 12x18 in. Working from a still life, Paulina masterfully renders a reverse value drawing. She renders the strongest highlights first, softly transitioning through mid tones, and allowing the paper to represent shadow. The result is a crisp, illuminated study of glassware.

  • Rachel Parry, grade 11, "Flaming Fist of Anger," ceramics, 7x4x5 in. The process of creating a ceramic sculpture can be tricky. Not only does the artist have to have strong technical knowledge to make a sculpture look appealing and physically balanced, but much is left up to chance during the firing and glazing process. During this process, pieces can crack or explode and glaze can run, flake off, or come out differently than expected. In this sculpture, everything went according to plan. This piece is a physical interpretation of the way anger feels. In this sculpture, Rachel represents anger as a fist surrounded by flames of rage.
