Alaska

Petrilla2

Title of Art Piece: Alaska
Category: Sculpture – 2015
Student/Artist’s Name: Mercedes Petrilla
School: East Anchorage High School
Grade: 10th
Artist Statement: My shoes are based on a local flavor theme. On each shoe is a different design that I would think would best describe Alaska’s most beautiful and cool qualities. For the top of the right shoe, I painted one of our fiercest predators, the Grizzly Bear. For the left shoe, I painted the northern lights, since seeing them is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. On the back, when both shoes are together, they spell out “Alaska” in gold letters.

Pseudo-Self

reynolds_dovell

Title of Art Piece: Pseudo-Self
Category: Painting – 2015
Student/Artist’s Name: Jori Reynolds-Dovell
School: East Anchorage High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: In naming this piece, I had to think long and hard. The first question I broached within myself was, “What does this piece of art I have created mean to me?” I took the picture I used as a reference at the bus stop with no prior thought or intention to create art. If I was being totally honest, it didn’t mean much to me. Not enough for the naming process to be easy for me. But I had created this piece, and put a part of myself into it. The piece deserved a name. Once I named it Psuedo Self, I found it meant more than I’d originally thought. With the amount of layering and redesign I’d done, it held a shroud of mystery. A light-eyed, smiling girl with no connections to reality, I found I related to the piece more than I did the face I saw in the mirror every day.
