Teen Art Show, September 15 – October 31, 2020
Welcome to the digital 2020 Teen Art Show! This year, art is displayed online, as well as in the Teen Lounge at the library. We received art from students in grades 6-12, in a variety of media. Please enjoy these wonderful pieces, and feel free to send us comments for the artists here.
Parrot or Bust, Abigail T.
(pencil) To create this realistic parrot I used a pencil, I chose to use an ebony pencil because it made it easy to make both light and dark marks. Ebony pencil has the same hardness as a 6B pencil so it was much easier to work with over charcoal which is very hard. To create the feathers, I put down a light gray with my pencil and blender stick. After that I erased some parts/spots of gray with both a traditional and kneaded eraser. A kneaded eraser is a flexible and pliable version of your normal school eraser. I don’t know how I would describe my style only that it is a mix. I like sketching, photography, watercolors, clay and acrylic paint. Hope you like my piece!
The Mandalorian, Ben S.
(a pencil, paper, sharpie, and colored pencils)
Strawberry Dress, Eva P.
(Digital art, Procreate) I keep seeing pictures of this really pretty dress, so I decided to draw it. I chose to use a digital medium because it’s a lot more forgiving than traditional drawing or painting.
My Dog, Holly F.
(Pencil, pen)
A Forrest with Flowers, Abby G.
(Acrylic on canvas) I enjoy painting nature because I can see how amazing our creator God is.
Watercolors, Avery P.
(Canvas and watercolors) I created it for fun.
Origami, Grayson S.
(Paper, colored pencil)
Nessie the monster of Loch Ness, Thomas
(acrylic) The colors I used were white, black, gold, blue, brown, and green. Realistic. Nessie is real.
Dodge Challenger, SRT Hellcat, Samuel W.
(Sharpie, markers, paper)
Desolate Sky Skraper, Aidan F.
(Paper/pen)
Walk like an Egyptian, Evan H.
(Pipe cleaners)
The floppy-eared bunny, Marie L.
(colored pencils)
worm hole, Andrew P.
(paper, hot glue, sharpie, colored pencils)
Melting Upwards Rainbow, Zoey L.
(Chalk pastel, paper, and wet cloth) The way I made it was getting a paper cloth and got it wet, squeezed out the water and then dragged it over the band of colors a few times. I added a few dots with the chalk pastel.
Mandala, Lily S.
(Embroidery hoop, thread, recycled jeans) I’ve always loved mandalas. I had found bright colored thread and set out with a repeating design. It’s always fun to work on something and change it as you go.
Natures Beauty, Emmah G.
(Acrylic on canvas) One of the reasons I enjoy painting is that even though you make mistakes you can still make the painting look beautiful!
Head in the Clouds, Olivia O.
(Canvas and paint)
Winter Bear, Reagan S.
(Canvas, basic brushes, primary colored acrylics) I made this piece from a basic canvas, brushes, and primary colored acrylic paints. I think my style is realistic, or as realistic as I can make it anyway! It’s a portrait of one of my little brother’s stuffed bears I used to own. The bear was a gift to me from a nice man in a library with loads of stuffed animals in his car. My birthday is in December, and it’s a December Birthday bear so it was perfect for me. I guess it just represents the providence of a caring God and how his love is perfectly tailored to my needs and wants – yours, too! Isaiah 43:2
Impossibility, Max W.
(Colored pencils)
Geometric rainbow, Sullivan P.
(Digital art [iPad, apple pencil, Procreate]) I like drawing abstract and I figured why not contribute to the teen art show.
Sea flower, Lucy Z.
(pencil, paper) Why: I love creating zentangle because it is peacfull [sic] and calming. What: Sea flower is a zentangle style, with nature patterns. How: I started with a dolphin outline, then started at the fin and worked my way up. I used many different patterns, like scales.
Rainbow Flower, Allison P.
(Paper, pencil, and markers)
Sparkle of hope, Brynn B.
(Watercolor, markers | drawing, painting) I watercolored the background blue and purple and then colored in the unicorn pink because it makes it pop out. The meaning of my work is probably to believe.
Magnificent Bird of Paradise, Kidist F.
(Drawing with chalk, pencil, colored pencil, sharpie, glitter, and construction paper)
