Grace Preparatory Academy Online Art Gallery: HS Art I, II, & III

Art plays an incredibly important role in our history and in our current society. Through art we have learned about past cultures, traditions, and people. From ancient art and sculpture we can gather clues about how people lived back then. In 500 years, when our current society might be studied, what works of art do you think they will look at? What would it say about our culture? With this idea in mind, students in all of the High School Art classes created a work of art that celebrated ordinary moments and things in their lives that would give someone in the future an idea of what life was like in our time. The Art II and III students also included an artist statement with their piece. Enjoy seeing their masterpieces!

I really like this work of art. It highlights my devotion I do every night. It looks a little empty, but I'm happy on how it turned out.

This is ancient cave art [inspired] but instead of weapons and animals, it's basketball, a Philly cheesesteak, a car, a phone, and Air Jordan 1's.

This represents my life in school, 8th grade, 9th and 10th. I wanted to do a caveman style to just try something different. This was a fun project that let me look back on my years at Grace Prep.

For this project I made a scene out of cardboard. This is a gaming setup surrounded by scenery from the game Minecraft, which has recently grown in popularity once again and has united people from across the world.

I chose to do my bed because I spend almost all of my days here. I chose to do it in Micron pen because I need to work on that more.

This artwork is a glimpse of a Tuesday/Thursday art class. I used different colors than a realism color scheme to convey a more lively way of spicing up a simple moment.

By John M.

For my project, I decided to celebrate my favorite pastime, drawing! The reason I chose to do drawing was because it's something I really enjoy doing in my spare time and I wanted to express how I see it. I also added Garfield in there for sentimental reasons. I just love Garfield!

By Julien S.

For my project I chose to draw a picture of my dog. I chose to draw this because I come home to my dogs jumping on me every day. Seeing and playing with them is part of my daily routine.

By Paul S.

I really like this piece. I did it because I drive every day and I figured it would be cool to do that.

By Emily P.

My favorite every day activity is probably drawing on my tablet. I love learning new things about digital art and improving my style and techniques so I decided to do this art piece based on that and I used a digital medium to show that it is my favorite medium to work with.

By Hope Troia

With this project I decided to change my style. I made it look more sketchy, unfinished and messy so that it looks like something you would find in someone's journal or sketchbook. I also chose to draw udon soup because that is something I enjoy eating frequently.

By Jaxon B.

I chose to draw a picture of the video game set-up I have because it is an extremely ordinary moment in my life. I love to play games often because they give me interesting challenges to accomplish as well as unique things to do and explore. I chose to use pencil for this project because I know some of the pieces would be quite intricate and some things could be accomplished through paint or other mediums.
