A Claustrophobic’s Paradise

April 4, 2018 ASAA

(Honorable Mention – Painting)

Title of Art Piece: A Claustrophobic’s Paradise
Category: Painting – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Amorah Lopez
School: Colony High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:
My preferred mediums in art are watercolor, inks, and graphite. I prefer to color my works in watercolor because it works quickly and can be controlled in almost any way one desires. I use ink to outline my watercolor marks, defining shapes, creating details, and adding texture to extenuate the pieces. I also like to use graphite for portraits and more organic looking art.
A concept that I’ve been focusing on most recently is expressing my happiness through memories and imagination. I feel my purpose in life is to be happy, and to make others happy. Because of this a lot of my most recent pieces have been on memories that I think define my most joy-filled moments.
In the future I hope to work in animated film, working with initial design processes such as storyboarding, concept illustration, or character design.

Shoot for the Moon

April 6, 2018 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Shoot for the Moon
Category: Communication Arts / Graphic Design – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Kat Barr
School: Colony High School
Grade: 10th
Artist Statement:

The theme for this project was “show what you see in your future” To be honest, I hate the future, the thought startles me; I don’t know who I will be, where I’ll be, I don’t know anything. It seems so uncontrollable and the possibility of failure is extreme. . . yet, so promising. I had no idea what to do with this project then a saying came to me which has been with me for so long “Shoot for the moon and if you miss you’ll land among the stars.” That’s how I see the future we want the best for ourselves; to get the best job, place to live, grades etc. But even if we don’t get the best in life you will still make it. Personally, the saying means a lot to me as I put so much pressure on myself to succeed and I don’t get all A’s and be the “best child” I’m a failure, that’s well. . . not true. Because in the end I may not be on the moon but I will still be among the stars. That is the meaning behind this piece.
