Bridge Over Troubled Waters

April 2, 2018 ASAA

(2nd Place – Mixed Media)

Title of Art Piece: Bridge Over Troubled Waters
Category: Mixed Media – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Kaitlyn Christopher
School: South Anchorage High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

This piece was made with the many violent terrorism attacks that have plagued our planet this past year in mind. I drew inspiration from Simon and Garfunkel’s song Bridge Over Troubled Water, which is also what I decided to name this piece. I chose to use triangles as they can symbolise resilience. If you exert force on any side of a triangle, it will not break. The triangles represent the resilience, in times of tragedy, that communities often show. They all band together in support. On the wave the dark blue triangles represent the deep sorrow that is felt right after a tragedy occurs, and as the triangle fades to the light blue, it shows how the pain we all feel lessens with that support of others. At the caps of the waves the stark white represents hope. The bridge going over the water is meant to represent the helping hands from communities around the world, that offer their support following each tragedy. The bridge is made out of frosted twigs connected by wire. The frost on the twigs represent the overwhelming sense of hope that is being taken over the bridge. The use of the natural material is to represent the natural human response of sympathy during a tragedy. The twigs are used also to contrast the man made chaos of the troubled water or the wave, that represents the terrorism in our world.

232333

April 3, 2018 ASAA

(3rd Place – Mixed Media)

Title of Art Piece: 232333
Category: Mixed Media – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Kaitlyn Christopher
School: South Anchorage High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

This portrait was designed with the work of Jean Michel Basquiat in mind. Basquiat inspired me to venture into the use of colors that traditionally don’t go together along with materials that aren’t usually thought of together in an overall cohesive design. I was also inspired by the Alaskan Native culture and the bead work that comes from the villages. I decided to mix the industrialized world that is Basquiat with the naturalistic world that is shown in native lifestyles in order to make one balanced work of art. All of the bead work comes from the native side of inspiration, while the background of crumpled tin foil with a matte finish over it and that overall design of the portrait comes from the industrialized Basquiat side of inspiration.

Eve

April 4, 2018 ASAA

(3rd Place – Mixed Media)

Title of Art Piece: Eve
Category: Mixed Media – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Savannah Landis
School: South Anchorage High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

For my piece titled Eve, I was exploring the concept of threshold for an art school’s challenge. I wanted to push the idea of threshold as a point of change or boundary in the terms of self-exploration. The snake represents rebirth, as snakes shed their skin. Also, the titling and visual of the snake with the girl brings out the biblical story of Adam & Eve- the boundaries of good and evil and the effects of change on the individual.

Category: Drawing – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Olivia Booth
School: South Anchorage High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

For this piece, I was inspired by culture of other nations and the ideal western standard of beauty. I believe that identifying with native culture is beautiful, so I wanted to bring light to the uniqueness of heritage. I think this piece brings a positive interpretation of what it means to be apart of native culture and takes a different angle on an ideal style of beauty.

Student/Artist’s Name: Kylan Clifford
School: South Anchorage High School
Grade: 9th
Artist Statement:

I made this art project for my grandpa. He also makes wooden crafts and all different sorts of lamps and bowls and pens that I thought were really cool and I wanted to make something for him that I made by myself. I used pipes and a lightbulb and made a lamp that is trying to show that one mans trash is another mans treasure because a lot of people just throw pipes and bulbs away but if you hold onto them you could make something valuable out of it.

The Light and the Dark

Title of Art Piece: The Light and the Dark
Category: Painting – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Hailey Gifford
School: South Anchorage High School
Grade: 10th
Artist Statement:

This painting represents that God wants us to be a “light in the dark” and to be constantly running towards Him, striving to be more like Him. Even though the sun may seem to be setting on our dreams, He is the one that will bring life to everything we touch. We will never be given a desert that is impossible to cross, with Him.

Title of Art Piece: Times 3
Category: Painting – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Megan Kline
School: South Anchorage High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement:

My idea for this piece was to convey a sense of completion. For me I see completion in a set or a series. In this piece each face is relying on the others but at the same time, each face still has the strength and impact to be seen on its own away from the others.
