The Visual Arts Drawing Exhibit was on October 25, and 26, 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The theme for October’s Visual Arts event was Black and White, so you're probably guessing its only black and white, but there was pretty colorful art pieces as well.
“I came here to see all the art, and basically see everyone I can, especially the 7th graders,” Visual Arts teacher, Liam O’Connor explained why he chose to come to the art show at OSA, adding, “I really like the sketchings of the people sitting in chairs.” He explained about the line quality in the hands and the way the student’s used charcoal to wrap it all together. O’connor said he was a brand new teacher at OSA, and was visiting the 7th graders, and their artwork. Lastly, he said the show was overall a good experience and he would be visiting it again next year.
Non-OSA student, Jasmine Taylor is a friend of one of the 6th grade visual art students, Dallas Thacker, and said she wanted to visit her friend’s artwork. Taylor’s favorite area in the arts event was the people made only with thumbprints, which she thought was very detailed. “The people look so realistic, and it’s crazy they're only made up of thumbprints,” she said. Lastly, Taylor explained that she liked the show and thought it was very cool to see all of the art pieces, and see her friend’s art.
“I came here to support my friends, and see all of the artwork made by OSA students.” explained the parent of a non OSA student, Claire Taylor. Taylor talked about how much she loved the thumbprint self portraits, and how the hair was so illuminated and realistic, even though it was made from thumbprints. She was very surprised by all the artwork, and had a great experience at the OSA event.
“I came here to see my son’s artwork, which I know will be amazing,” said Mitch Tobias. “My favorite section is the screaming and crying portraits.” He explained how they were seeming like the people who made them were passionate about the art pieces and how you can see the passion brought into the artwork. Lastly, Tobia explained that he had a great time looking at all of the art pieces and of course, his son’s pieces.
Visual Arts student Siyan Burns said that he put a lot of effort in his work, especially when he liked what he was doing. His favorite piece was, “the 6th grade skull drawings.” Burns liked that piece because he said that the charcoal was very faded and charcoal fits nicely when drawing skulls. His hardest art work was the dog drawings because of all of the lines in the dogs he had to draw took a lot of patience and effort.
Visual Arts student, Lisa Max was talking about how much work she puts into her pieces, depending on how she is feeling with that certain project. “It depends if I don’t like the project. If I like it, I will put my best effort into it. If I don’t like it, I will put enough effort into it to get an A.” Max explained her favorite art so far is her accordion box, made out of water color, trash, embroidery, and needle felting. “I am proud of it because it makes a statement about water pollution, and Marine life.” Max’s hardest piece, (which is also her favorite,) was the accordion box.
Gigvanni Bscober was explaining about their effort put into their artwork, especially when they like the project. Bscober explained their favorite art piece they have done so far was the Boafet drawings, because of the good effort they put in shading. lastly, Bscober’s hardest artwork they had to do was their self portrait.
Fusako Chapman explained about how much work she puts into her artwork, even when she’s doing projects she dislikes. Chapman’s most favorite artwork, is her sequin books that were used with all different sorts of media. “I like the sequin books because it challenged me to draw four different media’s.” Chapman’s hardest artwork she’s done so far is the intaglio prints. “In the show, we did intaglio prints, and it took a lot of work putting ink on the plates, and putting it through the printing press.”
Aiyana Adriazola Saunders was talking about how she puts work into her pieces, but not her most work. “I put quite a bit of work into my pieces, but I make sure not to go to my limit.” Saunders explained about her fan piece being her favorite artwork so far because she likes how she made the lighting and detail of it. Lastly, Saunders hardest artwork was her scratch work piece. “I would say my scratch work piece because it was a new media for me, so that probably made it 10 times harder.”
Overall, everyone enjoyed the art show, and all of the OSA students worked hard on their art.
