Category: Photography – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Sarah Rose Neher
School: Nikiski Middle/High School

For this picture I was looking for a contrast between light and dark. It had been a pretty gloomy day up until this point. The fog coming off the river made the setting look very eerie. This is one of my favorite pictures I have taken.

Never done stippling before and I was inspired by my classmates to try something new. I have always thought it would take a lot of time but it’s really quality over quantity.

Perspective

Title of Art Piece: Perspective
Category: Multicultural Art – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Bryan McCollum
School: Nikiski Middle/High School
Grade: 10th
Artist Statement:

My history class inspired me to explore different cultures because of the fall holiday that was coming up. I found the way that that culture celebrated life and the wealth of living very intriguing. I had never drawn a person before and that was the catalysts. I always thought I would not be able to draw people until I took my advanced art class.

Student/Artist’s Name: Alysa Smith
School: Nikiski Middle/High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

If I could change something I would even out the skin tone and add freckles. The hair was going to be a really big deal too. However, I am coming to terms with it though although I might alter it later. The eyes speak.

My goal when making this picture was to make it look normal at first glance but a little more odd the longer the longer you look at it. I wanted the viewer to ask themselves: “is that real?”

School: Nikiski Middle/High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

To represent myself I combined a German Shepard with my own face with a lupine to represent the love I have for German Shepard and my Mom. I had never used watercolor or painted a lupine so it was a risk to put it on a nice drawing but it was worth it!
