Category: Mixed Media – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Deanna Kendall
School: Valdez High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

The theme of the shoes center around the topic of art. To me, art is more than painting or drawing, Art can also be music, dance, or a writer’s story of life. I felt the imagery on the shoes shows an example of how the arts can combine together and make something beautiful.

A People Disrespected

April 4, 2017 ASAA


(Honorable Mention – Mixed Media)

Title of Art Piece: A People Disrespected
Category: Mixed Media – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Alyssa Madrid
School: Kodiak High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

I was inspired by the Dakota Access Pipeline and Standing Rock’s fight against it. Standing Rock is a Sioux Native American reservation in North Dakota, the pipeline will essentially run through the reservation’s fresh water sources most likely contaminating their drinking water. The construction of the pipeline will and has run through “protected” sacred Native American burial sites, ruining them forever. Native Americans from all over the Americas have joined together to peacefully fight the pipeline together. Being Alaskan Native and Native American myself, I felt a need to do something to help my sisters and brothers fight the pipeline, so I used my art skills to create this piece.

Lone Girl

April 10, 2017 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Lone Girl
Category: Mixed Media – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Kacie Myers
School: Ben Eielson High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

This image illustrates a lone girl and her bird walking down an empty street. This is a catharsis work that is meant to portray emotional loneliness in a physical way. I wanted to depict a twilight-like background, because I believe there is a lot of melancholic emotion that accompanies that time of evening. I used Micron ink pens and watercolor pencils in order to create a rainy-day atmosphere.

Heart

Title of Art Piece: Heart
Category: Mixed Media – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Alexis Smathers
School: Ben Eielson High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

This design is one that I have been thinking about for a while and just recently decided to make a reality. I wanted the flowers and the heart to contrast each other and to show what is giving the heart “life.” I painted the flowers with warm colors of watercolor paint and used India ink and Micron ink pens on the heart. I wanted to experiment with these mediums and produce something whose message may resonate with those who see it.

Sugar Skull

April 10, 2017 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Sugar Skull
Category: Mixed Media – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Ellisha Borland
School: Ben Eielson High School
Grade: 10th
Artist Statement:

My sugar skull was created to experiment with free-hand drawing and sketching. I also fooled around with mixed media and intricate design. Although it may not look like it, the piece took many hours to complete. My inspiration for this piece was a recent trip to Arizona where I saw many new types of flowers and came across a surprising amount of different candy skull designs. I started by drawing my outline in pencil, then I went over all of the lines in calligraphy pen, and finally, I filled in all of the spaces with watercolor.

Field of Flowers

Title of Art Piece: Field of Flowers
Category: Mixed Media – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Emily Manthey
School: Wasilla High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

This is a landscape painting of a photo I took last summer. I used the detail of the rocks to help create a sense of perspective and depth. The light is exaggerated which leads our eye back to the details of the painting. I used silk flowers for the fireweed and I believe this helps create a strong focal point.
