A drawing piece by Noah Watson (‘25). It resembles a brain wearing headphones. Watson says music is something important to him, it helps him cope with “the stress of school and life.” Watson says music and noise can “give you space to be alone.”
A sculpture of a bird made of reused resources. Javier Sanchez-Watts (‘26), says this piece came to be “a collection of failed ideas.” Javier focuses on the “scavenge” prompt when making this piece, as he explains in his step by step thought process.

A sketch image is by Liam Hogan (‘26). Hogan drew a person pushing a boulder up a hill. He says it is based on relentlessness.
A piece by Aaron Alcamo (‘23). This painting is a self portrait of Alcamo with lots of movement around him, resembling “finding yourself.” Alcamo says he wants the viewer to make their own inferences about him “through the composition” of his artwork.
“The story behind my art is to showcase the stories of Hispanic Americans. Being Hispanic is a big part of my life and something I care about deeply.,” said Joel Rodriguez (‘23). “ all my pieces are done with ballpoint pen, I chose this medium, because I enjoy the texture and depth it presents.” This drawing shows what really happens while trying to achieve the “American Dream.”
“The emotions I tried to express in my artwork were curiosity and foreboding,” said artist Lainey Creager (‘26). “What I am trying to say with my artwork is that nature is beautiful no matter what. I want the viewers to feel intrigued when they see my artwork.”
“I chose to do this on a sensitive subject about substance abuse. My idea was that this is an exaggerated version of someone with an addiction,” said artist, Trinity Endaya (‘24) “I brought up the subject of substance abuse with my art piece because this is something that can take control over you. It’s something that will make you blind to your actions and hurt you physically and mentally.”
