3rd - 5th Grade Artwork

"My Family," by Axel B., 3rd grade. Playdough & marker on whiteboard.

"My Hobby," by Aaron E., 3rd grade.

"Fall in a Forest," by Bermet Karabek, 3rd grade. Mixed media collage.

Artist Statement

I used a poster board, construction paper, a McDonald's wrapper, tissue paper, newspaper, squirrel pictures, golden foil, brown napkins, glue, and paint to make my collage.

Collages are beautiful and I enjoy making and looking at them. Whenever I have time, I collect beautiful little pieces of paper and glue them all together to make one masterpiece. I want my viewers to know that I worked very hard and it takes a long time [to make a collage]. I want them to admire the beauty I made.

6th - 8th Grade Artwork

"My Future" by Jessi A., 6th grade

"My Dream" by Omar G., 6th grade

"My Dream," by Edwin C., 6th grade. Digital art.

Artist Statement

This is my hobby/dream: gaming/streaming. I have a lot of fun gaming and even more fun streaming. I want this to be my full time job. I know some people might think that gaming isn't a career but a lot of people have done it, so why can't I do it. I want people to know that their dream matters. Even if people don't believe in their dreams then they should still try to achieve their dream because it's your dream. You can make it come true and no one should be able to stop you.

"Court Scene," by Marlene S., 6th grade. Mixed media sculpture.

"Hypersonic," by Karim A., 7th grade

"Purge 2020," by Juan Munive, 8th grade. Graphite pencil on paper.

Artist Statement

Covid-19 has been really devastating all around the world. One of my dad's closest friends died because of Covid-19. He was also my sister's piano teacher. In my artwork I chose the colors black and white to give it a sad mood. The man with the mask represents all those who have died because of Covid-19. I want my viewers to feel the sadness and sorrow that families have gone through in 2020.

"Order Out of Order," by Alejandro S., 8th grade. Pencil, marker, and colored pencil on paper.

Artist Statement

There are a lot of people suffering in this time of pandemic and I know how it feels, because one of my family members got very sick with this virus. Also just how the virus is overwhelming our body's defenses, there are issues with violent protesters who are looting and harming people's businesses and dreams, and are overwhelming the police. So in my drawing I combined a little of both.

I want people to realize that this virus is dangerous, that it can change your life and the ones you love for ever. When people see my drawing I want them to see what this virus really is and that it doesn't matter how old you are, it could kill you too.
