Ice Bank

April 5, 2016 ASAA

TananaRiverJonGates

Title of Art Piece: Ice Bank
Category: Photography – 2016
Student/Artist’s Name: Jonathan Gates
School: West Valley High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: I took this photo on the Tanana River near Volkmar Lake. The sun had been shinning on an ice shelf and started to melt the snow and ice creating a line of icicles. The icicles contained trapped silt and sand that had been blown around by the winds on the Tanana. I set my aperture really low and laid down in the snow to snap this photo. I then edited it a little in Photoshop to make the blues and magentas to be more prominent in the photo.

Boats On The Water

April 5, 2016 ASAA

Celeste

Title of Art Piece: Boats on the Water
Category: Photography – 2016
Student/Artist’s Name: Celeste Jensen
School: West Valley High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement: This photo was taken in Venice, Italy. I like this photo because I was there on a chilly, rainy day, but this photo still seems to capture the beauty and tranquility of Venice. With the photo in black and white, all the colors of Venice disappear and the city seems more calm and quiet. Also, the rule of thirds highlights the boats.

Decay

April 5, 2016 ASAA

Blake

Title of Art Piece: Decay
Category: Photography – 2016
Student/Artist’s Name: Blake Swarthout
School: West Valley High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement: While wandering through the woods near the Rocky mountains in Colorado I was surrounded by the wonders of nature, life, and death. My trusty Australian Shepard, Codie, barked in distress as he attempted to call for my attention, when I came to him he had the skull featured in the photo laying at his feet with a smile on his dog face. I felt it was my civic duty to share the story of this fallen beast as it was no act of chance I found it, it was destined to live on in art. I feel that the skull and the fallen tree both communicate a theme of death and decay that strongly contrasted the lively, green, and beautiful Rocky mountains.

Teatime Featuring Shadow People

Kasey
(Honorable Mention – Photography)

Title of Art Piece: Teatime Featuring Shadow People
Category: Photography – 2016
Student/Artist’s Name: Kasey Casort
School: West Valley High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement: I took this photo for an assignment that required me to create an illusion within a photograph. I really enjoyed the idea of working with shadows, especially with a shadow interacting with a visible object, so I used an antique teapot and a mug to create a tea party scene. I also let my sister’s face become a shadow on the right to add a more detailed silhouette, which is my favorite part of this photograph.

Vintage Car

Emily
(1st Place – Painting)
(Congressional Award)

Title of Art Piece: Vintage Car
Category: Painting – 2016
Student/Artist’s Name: Emily Abramowicz
School: West Valley High School
Grade: 10th
Artist Statement: This car in particular was one of my favorite projects this semester. It was a little difficult to get the composition and contrast just right, but on the whole the painting seemed to turn out well. I tried to get a bright feel using tints and shades of yellow and orange in the background, and a more mellow car using tints and shades of green and yellow for the car.
