Dragon

Moriah-Dragon-1

Title of Art Piece: Dragon
Category: Sculpture – 2015
Student/Artist’s Name: Moriah Soriano
School: Juneau-Douglas High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: When we had to pick an animal, I chose a lizard. I wanted it to be different – not furry and cute. It quickly became a dragon. It took a long time to attach all the scales. I’m going to use a translucent glaze to show off the texture.

Title of Art Piece: Black Fox
Category: Sculpture – 2015
Student/Artist’s Name: Ukiah Engen
School: Juneau-Douglas High School

Artist Statement: Foxes are so often portrayed as mischievous tricksters, but their pelts have been an important part of Alaska’s economic history. I see this fox as intelligent, but generous – It’s allowing itself to be used by man.

Waikiki

Waikiki-1

Title of Art Piece: Waikiki
Category: Ceramics – 2015
Student/Artist’s Name: Kris Redd
School: Lathrop High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement: This piece of art is the perfect depiction of me. I love pushing my limits on the wheel and I am in love the ocean. The bowl itself is something that’ve had to constantly work at for the past few years, and behind it is many smaller or thicker bowls. As the old saying goes, practice makes perfect! My love of the ocean probably started in Hawaii, and has has only grown since I moved here to Alaska. The diversity of fish and sea life fascinate me. Together, they make something uniquely wonderful.
