Croton-Harmon High School AP Artists Showcase Work

From Croton-Harmon Schools:

Croton-Harmon High School’s AP Studio Art students showcased the work they have completed throughout their high school careers during the sixth annual Advanced Placement Studio Art Show in April.

Participating students Nohemi Arpi, Forest Balemian-Spencer, Anna Burholt, Emma Cheshire, Veronica Cho, Olivia Donovan, Trey Glickman, Jamie Koultukis, Dillon O’Keefe, Loretta Violante and Blake Walther were present during the April 5 reception to speak with attendees about their work.

Donovan’s display featured a number of portraits that represented her fascination with faces. She is also researching a project about facial recognition through the school’s science research program.

“My concentration focuses on different expressions and the exaggeration of the face, warped and altered in a cartoon-like style,” she described. “The faces that I draw reflect the emotions of the subtle expressions and the contortions that occur.”

Walther said his work reflected his love of water.

“To create continuity and unity throughout all 12 pieces, I used animals that make repeat [appearances],” he pointed out. “In addition, I used 40s-style artwork and pinup styles mixed with my own flare to express this look of classic drawing and modern, bold color.”
