I traced my new falcon creation, added color and incorporated thunder and lightning because we are Thunder Mountain High School! I had two layer font – one was white with a glow and the other was black.

(Honorable Mention – Drawing)

Category: Drawing – 2015
Student/Artist’s Name: Aidan Barlow-Diemer
School: West Anchorage High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: I am an IB Baccalaureate developing a portfolio on portraits of Alaskan Wildlife. The drawing of this wood bison derived from a photo that I took at the Wildlife Conservation Center. I free handed the outline of the bison and then used stippling to finish the image. This piece is important to me because it represents a piece of Alaskan culture and environment; the Wildlife Conservation Center’s annual release of wood bison into the interior of Alaska has a significance in representing our state’s relationship with our unique environment and wildlife.

(1st Place – Drawing)

Title of Art Piece: Study of Joel Bedford
Category: Drawing – 2015
Student/Artist’s Name: Katie Buchanan

It was a challenging project that I hope you enjoy.
