Title of Art Piece: Watching
Category: Drawing
Student/Artist’s Name: Evelyn Wlaker
School: Thunder Mountain High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: My inspiration for this piece was to try and express the silent power and grace of a horse, evident even when standing still. I used charcoal to convey this because of it’s manipulability and pliability, which is conducive to portraying potential energy in a drawing. The background is a continuation of my struggles with figure/background relationships, something that I feel confident in with this drawing.
