'Puffin' by Skyla (Stella Maris Academy)

'Puppy' by Sabela (Belanger Memorial)
Art Medium - Pencil
Artist Comment: I did pretty good with shading.
'Blood and Honour' by Kendrick (AR Scammel Academy)
Art Medium: Charcoal and Black Pen
Artist Comment: This was the first time I used this technique.
'The Lookout' by Belle (Point Leamington Academy)
Art Medium: Coloured Pencil
Artist Comment: I am most proud of the details I added into this art work like the different types of sea life the fishing gear in the boat and the light house.
'Three Headed Beast' by Kendrick (AR Scammel Academy)
Art Medium: Charcoal and Black Pen
Artist Comment: I like the pen and charcoal technique.
'Corrigan's boat' by Landon (Stella Maris Academy)
Art Medium - Coloured Pencil
Artist Comment: The big boat as this is the Corrigan's boat in my home town of Trepassey. I put lots of effort and detail just into their boat.
'Blue-black Fox Recreation' by Sabela (Belanger Memorial)
Art Medium - Colour Pencil
Artist Comment: I think it is a really good replica.
'The Life of a Lily' by Bridget (St. Stephen's All Grade)
Art Medium: For my tryptich I used coloured pencils to create a visual that shows the life cycle of a lilly. For the first piece of the tryptich I used a cool analogous colour scheme (mostly blues and greens), for the middle piece I used a split complimentary colour scheme(pink, green, and yellow), and for the last piece I used a warm analogous colour scheme (red, orange, and brown).
Artist Comment: I am most proud of this piece because it was my first times using limited colour schemes for a drawing with coloured pencils. The limited colour scheme brought me out of my comfort zone and I had a lot of fun making it. I also had never done a tryptich before and I was quite proud of how it turned out. :)
'Oceanview' by Brandi (Point Leamington Academy)
Art Medium: Watercolour
Artist Comment: It is a picture from my hometown.
'Rob Lucci' by Ellen (All Saints All Grade)
Art Medium: Pencil
Artist Comment: In this piece, I'm really proud of the face, especially the eyes because I usually struggle with that part, like trying to get them even. In my drawing his face actually looks pretty identical to his in the show he's from. So this is definitely my favourite art piece I've done so far this year.
'The Heart of the Tide' by Sarah (
Art Medium: In this art piece, I used water colour paint and pencil crayon to illustrate my drawing. I put both art mediums on separate pages to demonstrate a mixed media art.
Artist Comment: I am most proud of this piece because of its design. Though I've made so many other amazing paintings or drawings. I love this piece out of them all because the way it's being presented is more eye catching.
'Memory' by Sabela (Belanger Memorial)
Art Medium: Watercolour, graphite
Artist Comment: Showcasing a memory of my best friend after not being able to see her for 9 months. The stars in the painting resemble the ceiling stars you had as a child.
