Word Craft

Category: Sculpture – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Franzisca Malenfant
School: Lathrop High School
Grade: 9th
Artist Statement:

I crafted a ship to make a statement about young students and adults sailing through life. No, surprising as it may be not everyone floats until death, sometimes theres wrecks and sometimes the ship may form holes. But no matter what art introduces new craft and creativity to the mind and body, thus every ship is unique but beautiful. Every person is a ship just making it through the ocean of life.

(2nd Place – Sculpture)

Title of Art Piece: Hands
Category: Sculpture – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Alma Reyna
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

Starting this multiples project I had never worked with clay and learned as I went. Katharina Fritsch inspired me with her use of myths and color this helped me when sculpting and painting the hands. I choose to sculpt hands, painted black, white, and grey, because they are very expressive, when formed in a certain way they give off the feeling of fear and desperation, the color is similar black is not a happy color, this connects with my theme of unnatural.

Cascading Butterflies

April 4, 2018 ASAA

(Honorable Mention – Sculpture)

Title of Art Piece: Cascading Butterflies
Category: Sculpture – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Aidyn Dervaes
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

This piece of mine is about an innocence of love. Particularly pertaining the emotion that we call ‘butterflies’. That flushed feeling of a thousand insects swarming in your belly. On this dress there are 953 butterflies that represent this feeling. I chose light and cheerful colors for my dress to communicate a sense of purity. I was inspired by the scenery of Colorado, where I spent some time this summer, watching the butterflies and hummingbirds prompted the initial ideas of my piece.

Student/Artist’s Name: Steven Ireland-Haight

When building this, I was intrigued by the form of an octopus, and I wanted to make something that would actively sit on/slide off a shelf in a home. I got very detailed, even making indentations on the suction cups that sit unseen under the tentacles.

Student/Artist’s Name: Jaclyn Mitchell
School: West Valley High School

The Converse is hand-built ceramic with underglaze fired to cone 04. The shoe took a while to build and then I slowly added details to it. I took my time to get the right shape and all the details. It turned out slightly smaller than my shoe size.

Something

April 6, 2018 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Something
Category: Sculpture – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Linnaea Alverts
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

This piece, which I am calling, “Something”, consists of; clay pots that were wheel thrown off-the-hump, repurposed copper pipe, sticks, rocks, sea shells, and other found “junk” that I am giving a second life through art. This piece connects to my theme, “less made into more” through both the physical process and the symbolism. As I use clay, a material that is almost as basic as the Earth itself, I am making it into something more complicated, a bowl or pot. This piece symbolizes how the trash we leave behind and the art of the natural world are all connected (hence the string) and there is a precarious balance between the health and pollution of Earth (hence the balancing of the mobile). When someone looks at my piece, I want the viewer to feel a call to take care of the Earth, but also be reminded that old can be made new again.

Title of Art Piece: Sticking Around
Category: Sculpture – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Mercedez Caudillo
School: Unalaska City School
Grade: 10th
Artist Statement:

I made a sculpture of the blue-ringed octopus because I haven’t done many sculptures. I tend to work mostly with gouache. I decided to challenge myself and do a sculpture of an octopus stuck to a piece of drift wood. I used paper mache, plaster, acrylic medium, and acrylic paint.

Cry Wolf

April 6, 2018 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Cry Wolf
Category: Sculpture – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Maggie Alston
School: Homer High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

With this piece, I was given the prompt to sculpt an idiom. Ever since I was little, I have loved animals and I always try to incorporate them into my art whenever I can. My idiom is “cry wolf” and I chose to illustrate this with a ceramic wolf bust with an accentuated tear on the face. I painted my piece with acrylic and attempted to blend and create a rugged wolf look.
