(Honorable Mention – Drawing)
Title of Art Piece: Still
Category: Drawing
Student/Artist’s Name: Pachee Yang
School: Lathrop High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: I named this portrait “Still” because I wanted to capture all the events,emotions and memories that I had experienced on a significant day of my life. At the time, I remember thinking to myself that it would be nice to possibly draw and convey this portrait sometime. Now that I have completely finished it, I cannot believe how well the portrait turned out. Not to mention that this portrait was the first time that I actually worked with color and pastels opposed to a simple drawing pencil. I am very glad and surprised that I have been given a chance to share this with others.
