Reflections

April 4, 2019 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Reflections
Category: Painting – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Evalyn Easton
School: East Anchorage High School
Grade: 9th
Artist Statement:

In my piece, Reflections, I researched the artist Paul Signac. In my assignment I needed to borrow a skill that the artist used and make it my own. The technique I used was pointillism and Paul Signac also inspired my subject since he would paint subjects from where he lived. I thought to paint a scene from the state that I live, Alaska. I wanted to make this piece to capture how beautiful Alaska is. The process was very excruciating because I had to put dots of acrylic paint to create an image. I learned patience from this painting. I wanted to send the message to not take for granted the beautiful landscapes around you.

Category: Drawing – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Max Manley
School: East Anchorage High School

I love drawing portraits, and drawing this picture was especially enjoyable because of the amount of emotion I was able to capture within it. I used a variety of inks and makers to create Ecstatic, and quickly it came to life. Overall I’m pretty happy with the piece, and I am excited to draw more things like this in the future.

I Can, I Did

April 4, 2019 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: I Can, I Did
Category: Painting – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Angelina Samuth
School: East Anchorage High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

The process of painting this picture was a long one, because of all the layers, and finding the right colors repeatedly. Like so many other beginnings, when I first started I didn’t like anything about it besides the background. I didn’t think I was able to paint it how I pictured it in my mind, but it all came through in the end. I learned that somethings take a lot more time than we think. I learned that especially with art, it may not look its best when you start but if you continue working through the inconveniences and believing in yourself that you can do it.

Her Nature

April 4, 2019 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: “Her Nature”
Category: Multicultural Art – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Shalia Samuel
School: East Anchorage High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

My piece “Her Nature” is a self-portrait that depicts how I see my hair and how other black girls should see their hair. Our kinky, tight coils are not tangled and nappy, but are as beautiful as the nature around us. What made me choose this subject is that a lot of girls with my hair texture feel insecure about their hair because they think it is ugly when it is actually pretty in its unique way.

Wolf

April 17, 2019 ASAA


(3rd Place – Communication Arts / Graphic Design)

Title of Art Piece: Wolf
Category: Communication Arts / Graphic Design – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Billy Her
School: East Anchorage High School
Grade: 9th
Artist Statement:

What really inspired me to make this piece was where I lived the majority of my life. I chose a wolf as my piece because I really like and adore wolves. Learning how to make the words fit and choosing the right words was challenging. I wanted to portray that wolves are independent and strong. The process of this whole thing was pretty though. Overcoming most of the obstacles completing this piece was challenging. I learn how to use photoshop and most of the basics about it. I’ve also learned that hard work and time brings out something beautiful.

I took this photo on a really cold night. We went out to an abandoned ship and whirled steel wool. I love all the photos from these shots, but this is one of my favorites. I have it in color, but there is something special about the black and white.
