A stark painting full of symbolism and dramatic color. --Valicia Glass
My artwork is based on how I was passing the time in quarantine. Digital collages
reflect the long walks and bike rides I went on to pass the time. Other drawings
represent my boredom when I didn’t have anything to do. They represent my
perception of time being distorted in lockdown. I hope other people are inspired by
what they see in my art. --Robert Chandler
This piece was inspired by a school
writing assignment and art piece
from earlier in the year in which we
created visionary fiction for a book.
Titled “The Butterfly Effect,” it is made
to look like a mural that might be on
a temple wall. You can see there is
always an eye somewhere in the mural
and it is extremely colorful. The eye is
supposed to look like it has static in it
and be a bit unsettling to look at. It also
contrasts with the rest of the piece by
being in black and white, standing out
by not having any color. It was made
by drawing shapes and lines and then
filling it in with even more shapes and
lines, first by sketching it out by hand on
paper and then outlining and coloring it
digitally.

The goal of this piece
is to communicate
the roles of good and
evil in our life. Some
people unrealistically
believe that life is
only good. However,
we wouldn’t know
what a good life
contains without
facing the bad. The
good and bad have
a sort of yin-yang
relationship where
they both contribute
equal parts. We live
in a world that re-
quires balance which
is similar to the Law
of Conservation of
Energy. Despite what
may happen in the
world, the good and
bad will balance out.

The world today
is strange,
and looking
back on the
world before
all of this
chaos ensued
seems almost
cartoonish.

There’s so much going on in the world
right now and a mass of it is destruction,
so this painting is a reminder that there
will be good things coming out of the
pandemic that wouldn’t have happened
without it. --Sabine Westby
The reason I cre-
ated this piece
was to learn
and explore the
anatomy of the
human face.

I chose to submit some of my
journal entries from these last
couple months because I think
it will be valuable for me to
look back on after all of this is
over. We are living through a
time that will be talked about
in history books so I have been
journaling as a way to document
these times and to ground
myself when it feels like too
much.
