Second Grade Science: Reversible and Irreversible Change

“My goal was to create something that was confusing but direct at the same time. I wanted to show a lot of emotion in it to show how distressed and almost tired the girl in the picture is. To me it resembles people spreading rumors, expectations we have to meet, peer pressure, and all the other little things that life throws in our way. But to other people it could mean something completely different.” -Senior Art Student Megan Bousquet

Oakland-Craig’s German exchange student , Jennifer Karge, had this to say about her latest art piece: “Looking at this project in front of me I can clearly see, why I picked the motive I drew. It is an overview of a part of the Manhattan skyline which is one of the first things I saw when I came to the U.S. You can see a huge bridge bearing over the river in the foreground, later blending into the skyline. I can clearly recall the feelings I had at that moment. A mixture of excitement, fear, sadness, and happiness. It resembles the start into my exchange year and also into the life after high school, it can be seen as the bridge from my past to my future.”

Senior art student Mikhail Hineline is planning on studying auto mechanics after graduation. For is latest drawing he created a Toyota AE-86. He stated, “I first drew it all out in pencil and then got the idea to fill the background with car parts and what motor the car has. I looked up several companies making sure all the parts shown are Japanese. Some of the minor car parts are American though.”

Senior Jess DeLeon created this colored pencil piece inspired by her little sister. She stated, “This artwork actually turned out better than I imagined the result. Originally, I was never interested in color growing up. I was always interested in pencil because I could erase my mistakes. However, I found it more enjoyable and interesting to make my own art and change things up. It was fun to make mistakes because the way I addressed the problem and fixed it amazed me more.”
