Evolving Beauty

April 6, 2022 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Evolving Beauty
Category: Ceramics – 2022
Student/Artist’s Name: Kaylana Nations
School: Lathrop High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

I wanted to create a piece that I could flow with and not worry about if the form was smooth or bumpy. I allowed the clay to shift and move with an organic feel. It was important for me not to have any precise lines and to allow the glaze to fall and splatter. The shape alludes to human form and the imperfections add to this form.

Category: Drawing – 2022
Student/Artist’s Name: Clyde Lynch

I chose a black and white palette because it shows the highest contrast which I felt describes stress very well. With the explosion being the reaction and the smoke in the background to help fill the composition and show potential stressors.

Quadri di Botticelli

April 6, 2022 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Quadri di Botticelli
Category: Painting – 2022
Student/Artist’s Name: Zaniyah Chestnut
School: Lathrop High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

These are four of 24 small sections of different Botticelli paintings that I reproduced on 4″ x 4″ panels. They will eventually be laid out in a grid that will take up a whole wall, much like the large panels of the original paintings. Because the sections are from different paintings, there will be no complete image of a single Botticelli, but will be coherent because his painting style and palettes are so iconic.

Title of Art Piece: Jungle Party
Category: Mixed Media – 2022
Student/Artist’s Name: Abigail Haas
School: Lathrop High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

I have been working with abstract forms and colors. The exaggerated anatomy of the toucan paired with the bold indistinct forms in the background make this piece an excellent representation of both those explorations.

Hidden Expressions

April 16, 2022 ASAA



Honorable Mention – Drawing

Title of Art Piece: Hidden Expressions
Category: Drawing – 2022
Student/Artist’s Name: Brooks Whitman
School: Lathrop High School
Grade: 9th
Artist Statement:

I enjoy using charcoal because it’s messy, and for most of my charcoal pieces, I use them to express mental imperfections that others may not be able to. There are many mental health issues out there that are never addressed because people think they’ll be judged or ridiculed. This piece shows a blindfold over a woman’s eyes which to me is a form of hiding. I’ve always felt that you can tell a lot about a person from their eyes, and the blindfold being placed there represents the attempt to hide the imperfections beneath it. I made this piece within a fifteen minute time period. I wanted to do something quick, but something that made me feel something when I looked at it. My hope is that when people see my piece, they feel what I felt when I made it.
