Political TV

April 1, 2017 ASAA


(1st Place – Sculpture)

Title of Art Piece: Political TV
Category: Sculpture – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Aidyn Dervaes
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

My piece politic TV has a strong use of iconography. It is about disconnection of people and politics, and the now-existing strong connection between the media and our government. The television represents the media and my statue of liberty is a representation of our country and government. It is about how our country is controlled by media. I made my sculpture large so that the viewer can look into the screen, I created a three minute video containing historical images, accompanied by a count down between every 4-5 three second clips. The ending of the video is ten seconds of television static and then the video picks back up at the begining. Rudolf Baranik was a large inspiration for this piece and his government defying work.

(2nd Place – Sculpture)

Title of Art Piece: Snagged
Category: Sculpture – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Brianna Jensen
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

I love fishing. Matter of fact I spend about ⅓ of my summer vacation with a rod in my hand. Since I am out in the water so much, I have noticed a reoccurring problem. It is not the little kids chucking rocks into the river, but adults ripping their lines through the water. Snagging can leave a fish disfigured and can affect their way of life. In my project, I wanted to capture the effects of snagging. Particularly on sockeye salmon. I chose to use high gloss spray paint to make my fish look alive. I also used a common object that many people get their hooks caught on, or in this case a piece of wood to support my fish.

Greek Theatre Expression Mask

April 3, 2017 ASAA


(3rd Place – Sculpture)

Title of Art Piece: Greek Theatre Expression Mask
Category: Sculpture – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Summer Putman
School: Juneau-Douglas High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

In English class, we studied the plays of Ancient Greece. Actors would wear the masks so the audience, from far away, could see which character was in the scene at that moment. The masks were exaggerated to show the expression of the character. My mask is exaggerated to show a state of shock and confusion of the character because my favorite part of the ancient greek plays were the plot twists that left everyone shocked. It is modeled after my own expression of shock that I made in a mirror. I formed the clay slab upon my own face so it would fit.

Edith Miller

Title of Art Piece: Edith Miller
Category: Sculpture – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Samantha Jacobsen
School: Homer High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

This mask is a part of a set between my friend Audrey and myself. Wilfred and Edith Miller are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary! Building the facial structure of each character was the hardest part. We had a hard time making the characters look aged but still joyful. Once I started painting, it really came to life. We then created a video of the couple in action, which gave them more personality.

Iron Dog

April 10, 2017 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Iron Dog
Category: Sculpture – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Brenna Krueger
School: West Anchorage High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

I created this piece for a portrait assignment in my IB Visual Arts class. It was initally supposed to be a wolf, however, it ended up looking more like a sled dog. The clay was coiled into two different shapes that are fitted together, the head of the dog and the neck of the dog. The neck of the dog is very abstract, with lots of swirls, then gradually phasing out into the realistic dog head. The contrast and connection between the abstract and the realistic is representative of the spirit and the body. The spirit is the ephemeral, whereas the body is quite real and solid. Together the spirit and the body coexist to create a form, or a body, as illustrated by my piece.
