  Title of Art Piece: Violetful Category: Photography Student/Artist’s Name: Sophia Meneses School: Bettye Davis East Anchorage High School Grade: 10th Artist Statement: While capturing this piece of so-called art, what I imagined while taking this photography was something fluid and dreamlike. Where the color purple would blend in together, creating a contrast to feel calm. Though I hope it invites you to pause, and feel the way this photography makes myself feel.

  Title of Art Piece: Strips Category: Photography Student/Artist’s Name: Marnilyn Sila School: Bettye Davis East Anchorage High School Grade: 10th Artist Statement: To overcome Darkness, you must let Light in. While creating this image, I imagined being in a dark room with light just beyond reach, slowly coming through the blinds. The light represents hope and truth, showing that even in darkness, there is always a way for light to enter if we allow it. Artwork Dimensions: 11"x15"   Additional Images:    Adjudicate Artwork

Title of Art Piece: Shadow & Light Category: Photography Student/Artist’s Name: Nkauj Xyo Mim Vam School: Bettye Davis East Anchorage Grade: 12th Artist Statement: In this photograph, I experimented with lighting, creating a warm, dimmed ambiance. I positioned my camera closely and carefully selected an object from the studio to achieve this effect. At first, I did not intend to use this part of the photograph, but I was encouraged to explore various objects that would be good for backup. Ultimately, it resulted in a positive outcome.
