Ballard High School

Student Artwork
This collage was parts of old magazines that reminded me of movies from the 50's and 60's that were based in southern Europe. I wanted to portray a sense of happiness and nostalgia, with the flowers around the woman to the right from the busy people on the dock. I balanced that out with a sense of calm with the swan and the sea with islands. I put this together on a piece of paper with acrylic matte medium gel and used a roller to flatten out the magazine clippings.

As a woman I have been through hardships towards men. I don't blame all men for what happened to me due to ONE man's decisions. I was the only one of many to speak up and now I feel that it is my mission to speak up on these issues.

Student Artwork
This piece is one of many in a style I developed to pass free time at school. I do the drawings with pen on scratch paper, and usually don't add color, but this time I thought I should color it in digitally.

Student Artwork
The theme of this sculpture is Bhakti or devotional yoga. In this practice, you worship this personified being by chanting or singing devotional songs, looking at images or shrines of the beloved being, meditating on their presence and imagining them in your heart. As your heart opens more and more to the personified being, and as your meditation deepens...you stop experiencing this being as something separate from you. You feel wholly and intimately one with them, and the love you feel for them grows into a boundless unconditional love. And through your love for this being, you are opened to the experience of oneness with the universe.

Bird Box is mostly about a part in my childhood. The box is meant to show how messy birds can be and the strings resemble which ways the birds have gone.

West Seattle High School

Student Artwork
I wanted to find a way to represent how it feels to be a mixed-race person who feels like they are missing a part of their culture because of the way they live. I think it is important to understand that being raised by people of a different race can lead to feeling like you are missing a part of yourself.

Ari Bachy, 12th Grade, “Who”

Student Artwork
What does the mess of thoughts and memories look like inside the creative human brain? How far can you disassociate before feeling completely disconnected from everything? This self-portrait is a reflection of my identity and how lost I am- still piecing together who I am and what weight I have in the world.

Payten Joy, 12th Grade, “Lost in Thought”

Student Artwork
A lot of the music I listen to is messy, layered sound collages with a lot of different samples and tracks weaving together over each other. I want to be able to express that visually as well as show the beauty of someone androgynous. Representation is scarce for a lot of gender nonconforming people and if I have the ability to create work that empowers people like me then that’s exactly what I will continue to strive to do.
