Selina Koch-Mathews - Freshman
"My name is Selina and I have always been into art ever since I was a little kid. This oil painting is painted after one of my own photos of a flower that I took in Sweden, and I'm pretty proud of some of the details and color choices I made."
Chlow Bagi - Sophomore (submitted by her friend!)
"this is chloe bagi’s amazing art! it was inspired by the 50s and realized on procreate. recently, she has started taking art more seriously and she has GROWN. it shows!! this most recent piece is the result of hard work and many grueling hours of practice. she is now making it one of her priorities to improve every day! also, both her art and personality is absolutely beautiful :)))"
"This is Justine’s first attempt at realism in digital art, which makes it that much more impressive. The final art piece manages to perfectly capture and convey the essence of the reference photo. It took over 10 hours to complete and shows Justine’s stunning artistic versatility in style."
Justine Dreux- Sophomore (also submitted by a friend!)
"this was drawn by justine dreux on procreate. she has always loved art and since quarantine has started, she’s been doing it a lot more. art helps her calm down and de stress. as a result of her drawing more, she has improved so much. the significance of this piece is that it’s her most recent, and in relation to her previous art it symbolizes growth and improvement."
Taryn Cheng - Freshman
"This piece was made in my iPad digitally with an Apple pencil, I really enjoy drawing digitally. This artwork was mostly drawn on a whim because I was quite bored, incidentally this is also one of the couple more realistic sketches/ drawings that I took creative liberty into crafting the face without too much references . I decided that adding color would take a little away from the sketching style so I only added a bit of color."
Kyra Monteen - Freshman
"I (the artist) am 14 years old, I have 2 cats and, I love art. I have been an artist for all my life and it is something I am very passionate about. I know that I am not the best artist and that's why I'm always working to get better. I hope you enjoy this piece of art that I created.
The piece is a water color painting and it's name is "Protractor" because I traced a protractor on a piece of watercolor paper over and over again to make the different spaces on the paper. I started the piece a long time ago but I did't finish it until a little while ago because I forgot about it for a long time. Even so, it's finished now and I think it's pretty good but I would love some feedback."
Kimberly Vera - Junior
"I had to draw an accurate face for my art class and my teacher said we could draw anyone we wanted to, so I decided to draw my brother’s face because I’m planning to keep the drawing in the future so by the time my brother grows up a little, he could learn that anyone could learn something new if they put their minds to it. I never took any art classes until now and that’s the fact that I’m already a Junior, so it makes me very happy that I’m capable of gaining a new skill despite not having any experience. I wanted to express those thoughts in this drawing because this is honestly the best art that I have ever done in my life and I’m proud of myself for trying my best in something completely new :D"
Nina Wang - Junior
"I’ve always enjoyed drawing forests and wildlife and decided to try drawing a fox with some new art supplies. Ever since I was little, I have always enjoyed fictional and fantasy stories which has also influenced a lot of my art"
Kaiden Brownie - Junior
"I decided it was time to have a lightsaber, so I built one. This took learning electrical wiring and about 2 weeks."
Tania Aguilar Diaz - Sophomore
"Me and my friends were doing a dnd and I created a character named Deer Deer (his first name and last name)who walks around in a rainbow skirt and crocs. He was a character that only lived only a week but it was very fun to play. Deer Deer was the fiance of the queen of goatlandia, Goatchella. He was like any normal person but Goatchella was a crazy assassin looking for people to kill, but they stuck together until the very end. Deer Deer was murdered from his fiance Goatchella when he tried to leave her.I am a person thats likes drawing, My Chemical Romance, sleeping, procrastinating, and Anime. I like to draw the characters in dnd's that my friends make but it more interesting to make the more extraordinary."
