Colour me Orange

Title of Art Piece: Colour me Orange
Category: Printmaking – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Asia Angeles-Hanson
School: Homer High School
Grade: 10th
Artist Statement:

I chose to make a block print of a fox because I wanted to make an animal that lives within Alaska. I chose the fox out of all the other possible animals because their colours are soft and beautiful. I also chose the fox since not many people think of foxes when they think of Alaska, and I think it’s nice to mix things up a bit.
