Weathered Worlds

April 1, 2017 ASAA


(1st Place – Ceramics)
Best of Show Winner

Title of Art Piece: Weathered Worlds
Category: Ceramics – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Lake Siner
School: Thunder Mountain High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

I am obsessed with perfection. I began making lids one year ago and have been striving for the perfect fit. With these piece I have achieved my goal. To make the fit even better, after the glaze firing I used silica carbide and almond oil to polish the area where the lid and base meet. The fit is tight and smooth on all three pieces. A while back I was using an agate stone to polish greenware and discovered chattering. I have used this technique with various chattering tools in most of my pieces. For the glaze, I wanted to emphasize the alternating chattering and dots and this matt glaze gave the results I was wanting. It also gives a weathered look which fits the entire set.

Artwork Dimensions: 10" tall X 4.5" wide (for tallest piece)

Category: Drawing – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Jenna Watson
School: Lathrop High School

Student/Artist’s Name: Abigail Veliz-Magana

No Looking Up

April 1, 2017 ASAA


(1st Place – Graphic Design)

Title of Art Piece: No Looking Up
Category: Communication Arts / Graphic Design – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Madeline Ko
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

This piece is set in a busy city and gives a visual marker for the focus of all of the people’s attention. The lack of eye contact and positioning away from the viewer makes them feel ignored and, in turn, inclined to return to their own devices. I was influenced by my own experiences traveling in cities, and street artists like “iHeart” who have also criticized society by exaggerating their generation’s social issues through art.

Political TV

April 1, 2017 ASAA


(1st Place – Sculpture)

Title of Art Piece: Political TV
Category: Sculpture – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Aidyn Dervaes
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

My piece politic TV has a strong use of iconography. It is about disconnection of people and politics, and the now-existing strong connection between the media and our government. The television represents the media and my statue of liberty is a representation of our country and government. It is about how our country is controlled by media. I made my sculpture large so that the viewer can look into the screen, I created a three minute video containing historical images, accompanied by a count down between every 4-5 three second clips. The ending of the video is ten seconds of television static and then the video picks back up at the begining. Rudolf Baranik was a large inspiration for this piece and his government defying work.

The Flowers Inside

(1st Place – Photography)

Title of Art Piece: The Flowers Inside
Category: Photography – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Spencer Stratton
School: Thunder Mountain High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

I was learning how to do double exposure in photoshop. I combined three photographs, two of them I had taken of some of the flowers at Glacier Gardens in Juneau. I really like flowers, and believe they tend to make everything just a little bit more beautiful, so I figured I might as well try it on myself. After tons of opacity changes, masking work, and editing the background to have the right colors, I finally got to a result that I was happy with.

Title of Art Piece: Feelings are the Key Ingredients to Make One Fine Meal
Category: Painting – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: River Parpana
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

My idea for this painting was to visualize human emotions as an influence to Loui Jover’s ink paintings. We have all expressed our emotions to others to show each other and ourselves how we feel, depending on the situation. I wanted to show these feelings and make a connection to the audience.

Good Things Age Like Fine Wine

April 2, 2017 ASAA


(2nd Place – Drawing)

Title of Art Piece: Good Things Age Like Fine Wine
Category: Drawing – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Nichole Bearden
School: Eagle River High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

My piece, “Good Things Age Like Fine Wine,” is one of many in a central theme I am exploring through my studio art course. This image is a part of a series that exposes the elderly. Because our society idealizes youth and beauty and physical hard work, they are an important demographic that often go ignored, due to their inability to provide the aforementioned. The figures in my piece are engaged in a passionate kiss, seemingly atypical of their age. Their zeal and desperation, expressed primarily by the man who is clutching the woman’s face with his hand, resembles that of teenagers blinded by love or lust. Additionally, the image is rendered entirely with charcoal, whose textured and soft appearance aid in the composition of the subject matter.

Category: Jewelry / Metalsmithing – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Laurel Scheel
School: East Anchorage High School
Grade: 9th
Artist Statement:

I got the idea for my piece from a drawing my sister did on a foam plate. I designed both the coyote and the background to be simplistic because the desert at night feels simple. A coyote howling at the moon also represents the desert because it is iconic.

Flow

April 2, 2017 ASAA


(2nd Place – Painting)

Title of Art Piece: Flow
Category: Painting – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Sabrina Kessakorn
School: Service High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

My art is used to convey my thoughts and passions. I am not the best at using words to express myself so I use many different forms of art to do so. One such passion that I express through art is my love for design. The anatomy of many things such as humans, buildings, and art itself fascinates me to no end. I enjoy looking at objects and seeing everything that makes it up, then recreating it. I often find myself staring at a piece for long periods of time just looking at the brush strokes, the mixes of colors, the type of brush used in digital paintings completely in awe by how beautiful it is.
I find great joy in creating beautiful pieces to share with the world. The feelings I get from art is what inspires me to create art. I want my pieces to evoke fascination, awe, and inspiration. Inspiration to travel, to investigate, to explore. I want my art to call people to action. My art style is more flowy than geometric and I often paint landscapes that are not enclosed. The reasoning behind this is that I want to use my art to promote positivity and open-mindedness. I want people to appreciate all the things around them.

Title of Art Piece: TMHS Falcons
Category: Communication Arts / Graphic Design – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Sonny Mauricio
School: Thunder Mountain High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

This is the 2016 – 2017 yearbook cover for TMHS. This is also my third and final cover that I will have created for TMHS. Our theme this year is “Space” so I was challenged to design a creative cover that fit our theme. The design was created using programs Photoshop and Cinema 4D. Please, note, this is NOT a photograph. This is an original piece created by me from scratch. Along with the creation of the cover, I screen recorded the entire design process. You can watch the speed art by scanning the cover with the Aurasma app and following the “2017 TMHS Yearbook” channel. The total recording time was eight hours. I had to render the speed art three times in order to compress the video down to two minutes. I thought it would be interesting to have the students and staff watch the creation of my final yearbook cover for Thunder Mountain High School.

I took inspiration from Native American head dress and the idea of a powerful queen. After I did the drawing a decided to include cutouts throughout the piece to allow the background of triangle cutouts to show through. The background can be seen as the queens power colors as well as fire from the chaos that she instills.

Snagged

(2nd Place – Sculpture)

Title of Art Piece: Snagged
Category: Sculpture – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Brianna Jensen
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

I love fishing. Matter of fact I spend about ⅓ of my summer vacation with a rod in my hand. Since I am out in the water so much, I have noticed a reoccurring problem. It is not the little kids chucking rocks into the river, but adults ripping their lines through the water. Snagging can leave a fish disfigured and can affect their way of life. In my project, I wanted to capture the effects of snagging. Particularly on sockeye salmon. I chose to use high gloss spray paint to make my fish look alive. I also used a common object that many people get their hooks caught on, or in this case a piece of wood to support my fish.

Overall, I feel good about the end result.

Greek Theatre Expression Mask

April 3, 2017 ASAA


(3rd Place – Sculpture)

Title of Art Piece: Greek Theatre Expression Mask
Category: Sculpture – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Summer Putman
School: Juneau-Douglas High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

In English class, we studied the plays of Ancient Greece. Actors would wear the masks so the audience, from far away, could see which character was in the scene at that moment. The masks were exaggerated to show the expression of the character. My mask is exaggerated to show a state of shock and confusion of the character because my favorite part of the ancient greek plays were the plot twists that left everyone shocked. It is modeled after my own expression of shock that I made in a mirror. I formed the clay slab upon my own face so it would fit.

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.

Title of Art Piece: Teary Eye
Category: Drawing – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Francis Giovanni Anino
School: Service High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

A teary eye hides a mystery of emotions which no one can tell if it is due to happiness or sadness, but the act of tearing soothes pain and lightens a burdened heart. It does not necessarily convey weariness because it takes so much strength to burst out or release emotions in order to pacify anxiety, pain, and hardship.
