Ballard High School

Student Artwork
Throughout the years I have documented myself through self-portraits. There is progression both in my skill, as well as how I view myself. My understanding of my gender identity has changed with time, and this is reflected in my art across visual and literary mediums. With this final high school self-portrait, I wanted to celebrate my trans identity in bright and bold colors.

Rowan Saunders, 12th Grade, “Under Construction”

Student Artwork
"The Stork" was born out of a game I created with friends called "artist telephone". We played with translating each other's work into new concepts. For mine, I decided to explore the interconnectedness of life and death and how they define each other. Without death, what we know to be life doesn't exist and vice versa.

Center School

Student Artwork
I used the symbols of plants and a deer skull to give it a mother nature type of feel. When working on my drawing, the biggest challenge I faced was gaining motivation to finish. Something I'm proud of is how realistic the skull is.

Ellie Frampton, 9th Grade, “Veiled Sadness”
Student Artwork
I felt inspired by having two sides to a personality: almost yin and yang. The black on white has a distinct human form, orderly, while the white on black flows off the page and seems messy in a way. This is almost like the light and darkness of a person, how the light seems feeble and fading in the dark- and how the dark is distinct in the light.

Student Artwork
This piece is supposed to communicate my identity, which means my love for music, devotion to family and my pride for my ethnicity. I'm most proud of my replication of Atlas carrying the world. Instead of the globe, I put my family name to represent what I consider my world.

Lincoln High School

Student Artwork
The animal eyes show how human’s eyes are closed to the impact we have on animals and our environment. The realism style and colored pencil material were chosen to bring the piece to life and show how we can learn from other species.

I took references from my own journals and the journal of Frida Kahlo. I added over and over as me and Frida have in our journals. I also added some elements of my love for anatomy.

Student Artwork
I wrote and drew a short story using escapism as a general theme and illustrated it in a Graphic Novel Format. I like that I’m moving into this style, I usually don’t have as organized a format with my work and found it ensures that the story doesn’t get lost with the art. I’m also interested in creating graphic novels and this gave me the opportunity to experiment with styles/structure.
