Judges Comments:

This piece has consistent craftsmanship and an interesting use of materials. The accordion folding creates a nice volume for the piece and the flowers add to the emphasis. The pleated fan at the neckline draws the eye up to the eventual wearer's face.

Judges Comments:

I really like the clean graphic nature of this, and I appreciate the concept is very insightful. Compositionally engaging with diagonal movement and high contrast.

Judges Comments:

Well done, and well finishe. The artist's goal of creating movement was achieved. There is a nice depth and detail within the floral elements.

Judges Comments:

I like that each character has a different color scheme. The artist has differentiated each character with the shape language as well as the color, adding to each character's perceived personality. This one is my favorite of the digital painting pieces.

Judges Comments:

This is a nice example of photography. The horizon line is set at 1/3, the perspective pulls the viewer in, and the trees in the foreground provide a contextual place for the viewer.

Judges Comments:

This piece has a nice composition and an interesting conceptual take about how war affects those involved. There is a nice level of contrast which adds interest to the image.

I created this for my AP studio art sustained investigation that covers different philosophical views on aspects of mortality. This was over the idea that the soul is immortal and passes through cycles of incarnation in birth and release from the body at death.

My goal for this was to make a picture as crazy as I possibly could. I believe I did this successfully considering the original picture only consisted of the lightning on the left and the sunset. I added in the whiter, brighter lightning on the right, the rock with the person on it, the fighter jets, and even the birds. Definitely my favorite thing I’ve created by far.

Roller skating and skateboarding- while looking like skillful, cool activities- are often shown in media as activities of strictly that. I was Inspired to make an animation showing a more silly, cute story involving skateboarding/roller skating, so I animated this story. After a week of working on this, I can confidently say that for my first time animating a full story, I did a pretty good job. However, I should let the “audience” decide, so see (and hopefully enjoy) this clip for yourself!

I created this peace as a final project for my ceramics class and to give to my mom for her birthday. This piece was inspired by works sold at Kings Pottery.

Whenever I’m working sometimes I think that I ignore people or i should be paying more attention to things. I find that if I’m working I notice nothing else around me besides the thing i'm working on. I think that I should sometimes be less stressed and appreciate the things around me. Maybe if I did that more I would become a little more happier or just more thankful for the life that I am living right now.

This was a project done in my Foundations of Art class.

Stress was my main topic during art. I feel as if a lot of stress is caused by expectations being put on by not necessarily others, but yourself.

My goal was to capture a third-person perspective of a photographer “in his natural habitat” I guess you could say.

When I first thought to make a dress out of torn magazine pages, although excited to finally be designing, I was terrified – I had made a to-scale dress before, but not one out of paper.
