  Title of Art Piece: See in a Bit! Category: Communication Arts / Graphic Design   Student/Artist’s Name: Wayland Roys School: South Anchorage High School Grade: 11th Artist Statement: This piece was used to represent the physical analogy of walking away from someone in life, but it presenting new and exciting opportunities, not being an end-all be-all situation. By taking separate "hiking paths", each skeleton will see new sights, meet new people along the way, and experience new memories, all while holding a deeper emotional connection with the other. This inquiry was used as a smaller representation for the overall idea of love striving in hardship, but blossoming and growing nevertheless.

  Title of Art Piece: “Motherhood by Choice, Not by Mandate” Category: Communication Arts / Graphic Design Student/Artist’s Name: Kat (Kathryn) Cooke School: South Anchorage High School Grade: 10th Artist Statement: Women have been mistreated and limited for years. Abortion is a right to healthcare; it should not be seen as right or wrong, but as a necessity. One of the counterarguments to this right is to not have sex if one does not want to be pregnant, but the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists found that one quarter of adolescent females report their abusive male partners were trying to get them pregnant.

  Title of Art Piece: Sandra Bloome Category: Communication Arts / Graphic Design Student/Artist’s Name: Lizzy (Elizabeth) Ekstrom School: South Anchorage High School Grade: 10th Artist Statement: The intention of this project was to design a character that could potentially be used for an animated film, book series, or tv show. Inspiration for this character came from my love of nature in Alaska. I wanted to incorporate my love of plant life in Alaska with a kind of superpower. From this I made a magic sketchbook. I have a nature journaling watercolor kit that I have brought with me in most of my travels, like Blackstone Bay, Seldovia, and Flattop. I also have long been interested in the restoration of native plant populations in Alaska….

  Title of Art Piece: Gerome-Fitze Winchester Category: Communication Arts / Graphic Design Student/Artist’s Name: Audrey Miranda School: South Anchorage High School Grade: 9th Artist Statement: This piece was created in alcohol ink for the purpose of a character concept idea for a possible novel, animated tv show, or maybe a picture book. The inspiration for him was from a children's depiction of a cowfolk but a little more mature. His character is meant to be a sort of flamboyant ignorant type who really only cares about how he looks. He cannot actually use his guns yet has a way with words. I never had any plan to use his character so I hope someone could take inspiration and use him in their own works….
