King of Kings

April 19, 2019 ASAA


(1st Place – Mixed Media)
BEST OF SHOW AWARD

Title of Art Piece: King of Kings
Category: Mixed Media – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Caitlin Mond
School: Valdez High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

Just last summer, I discovered a new art medium which mesmerized me. I saw pictures whose image
had now been captured in string. I had been looking for a new medium to use and was inspired to try it
out for myself. I practiced with smaller images and then worked my way up to larger projects. While
doing research for new ideas, I found full portraits done with this very medium. Deciding to take the
leap, I finally started to plan out my own portrait. It took a few days to finally settle on my subject for
this project, a lion. When I had first started, I didn’t have a specific statement in mind for the finished
product. As I was stringing the piece together though, it started to become clear. Before I began my lion
project, I had created a world map out of string. If you put meaning behind that piece, you can see a
representation of a World all connected. The lion portrait, “King of Kings” to me then represents the
creator who was the one to string us all together, to have made us all in his own image. My biggest hope
for this piece is for it to captivate all audiences, make them ponder on its meaning.

Trumpty Dumpty’s Great Fall

Title of Art Piece: Trumpty Dumpty’s Great Fall
Category: Mixed Media – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Ruby Wright
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 10th
Artist Statement:

My marker collage represents the Democrats’ (donkey) smashing a wall that Trump (Humpty Dumpty) can’t build by himself. The rainbow candy land behind it symbolizes a happy future where walls don’t divide two sides. On the bricks I used headliners cut out from national newspapers to show the real-life impact this potential wall has already had on people.

Title of Art Piece: Strength
Category: Mixed Media – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Kiley Nagl
School: Wasilla High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

In this piece I focused on pattern and repetition as well as use of texture to express the movement of my artwork. Focusing on muscle structure and fat tissue, I used linear lines for the muscles and repetition of stippling work for the fat tissue. I chose the female form for piece as I see it as a symbol of strength and empowerment.

Appearance Toxicity

April 16, 2019 ASAA


(Honorable Mention – Mixed Media)

Title of Art Piece: Appearance Toxicity
Category: Mixed Media – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Anesia Pavilla
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 10th
Artist Statement:

My artwork is titled Appearance Toxicity. This art piece was inspired by Poster Boy and Kenny Scharf. It was created to show how media’s expectation on a woman’s body can affect them. The mirror drawn, Mirror of Lies, shows the woman looking in that she is fat even though she is only a sack of bones in reality. There is also an invisible demon floating around the woman that you cannot see in the mirror telling her unkind things and harassing her on her appearance. An example would be that it tells her that she should use the make-up products to cover her ugliness. There is also the magazine clipping that are words and images. The words are unkind and the images are some of the expectations pushed on women. Over all this was created to make people aware of this problem that some women have.

Title of Art Piece: “Jellyfish”
Category: Mixed Media – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Jessica Fandel
School: South Anchorage High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

As an artist I approached this project thinking outside of the box. The work and ideas that went into this sculpture were mercurial because the form and gesture of my sculptures are not from a model or photograph, but what I think they should like. Using other elements like metal, ceramic and glass made it more organic and diverse.

Grade: 10th
Artist Statement:

While creating the first piece I did for my art class I was in a very calm place. I was relaxed. While researching different kinds of flowers I found the lotus and it enhanced my serenity and peace. I was further moved and inspired by gentle blue hues and gradients. I used scrap papers from our recycle bin as well as from discarded books. I loved the meditative feel of ripping and placing papers over and over. Art sooths the soul.

When in Rome

April 4, 2019 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: When in Rome
Category: Mixed Media – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Hannah Young
School: Nikiski Middle/High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

In recent years, I have discovered an interest in drawing buildings. I love studying the architecture, and looking at their intricate details. I decided to take this interest and turn it into an art piece. I discovered a photo of this building in Rome called Basilica Papale di San Paolo fuori le Mura. As soon as I saw it, I knew it would make a perfect reference to create what I now call, When in Rome. When I started this piece, I was particularly working on values, darker darks, and lighter lights. I made sure I was not simply copying the building, but I had created my own interpretation of the building in conjunction with some of my own personal touches. I felt as if I needed to add something to it. In desire to experiment with watercolor, I decided to add a colorful border, which created a juxtaposition between the black and white of the sketch, to the colorful, gradient border. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed creating this piece, and I don’t think I would have done anything differently.

April 4, 2019 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Strigiformes
Category: Mixed Media – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Evan Welty
School: Homer High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

My piece is a culmination of various different utensils. The landscape was washed in watercolors, pen is used to outline majority of the piece, which was previously pencil. Colored pencils coated the winged watchers. I was attempting to convert a cold formidable yet aesthetic vista. I drew inspiration from Caribou Lakes snowy capped hills, the staunch lofty pine and cotton trees cloaked in winter’s cool embrace. All of which is reminiscent of my experience exploring the terrain via ATV’s and snow machines. Personally, my piece holds a stark tale of man versus nature, as well as a keen perspective from the flock of omnipotent watchers.

Student/Artist’s Name: Aisha Malik
School: Lathrop High School
Grade: 10th
Artist Statement:

Recently, I’ve been experimenting with different mediums and subjects, and doing a comic page is the perfect way to combine all that into one single piece. I’ve found myself really intrigued by drawing complicated backgrounds with a hint of fantasy, thus leading to this artwork. I started this comic by sketching and inking the black lines on large bristol paper, and then scanned it and colored it digitally, using an iPad and AutoDesk Sketchbook. This project was a very fun experience and I hope to do it again soon.

This painting I have displayed in front of you is a lollipop as you can see the lollipop is white as the rainbow is running down. This piece came to me when I found out I liked both boys and girls. I didn’t know how to tell my parents or anyone really. So when I decided to tell them I did this painting. This is a way I express myself in many different ways.

I possess the passion to design characters, characters that are ingeniously imaginative. Not only expressive by the means of how they look but how they would carry out life.

All of which is reminiscent of my experience exploring the terrain via ATV’s and snow machines. Personally, my piece holds a stark tale of man versus nature, as well as a keen perspective from the flock of omnipotent watchers.

Title of Art Piece: Deep in the Woods
Category: Mixed Media – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Aisha Malik
School: Lathrop High School
Grade: 10th
Artist Statement:

Recently, I’ve been experimenting with different mediums and subjects, and doing a comic page is the perfect way to combine all that into one single piece. I’ve found myself really intrigued by drawing complicated backgrounds with a hint of fantasy, thus leading to this artwork. I started this comic by sketching and inking the black lines on large bristol paper, and then scanned it and colored it digitally, using an iPad and AutoDesk Sketchbook. This project was a very fun experience and I hope to do it again soon.

Title of Art Piece: Dripping Red
Category: Mixed Media – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Jordyn Flynn
School: Nikiski Middle/High School
Grade: 9th
Artist Statement:

This painting I have displayed in front of you is a lollipop as you can see the lollipop is white as the rainbow is running down. This piece came to me when I found out I liked both boys and girls. I didn’t know how to tell my parents or anyone really. So when I decided to tell them I did this painting. This is a way I express myself in many different ways.

Illusion of Life

April 4, 2019 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Illusion of Life
Category: Mixed Media – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: David Aragon
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

I possess the passion to design characters, characters that are ingeniously imaginative. Not only expressive by the means of how they look but how they would carry out life. My piece’s composition gives the impression that it’s not just an average drawing you set in a frame, but the illusion of life.
