“The Room”
This drawing focuses on one point
perspective, which is a drawing created
on a 2D plane that uses one point in the
distance that everything in the drawing is
drawn from. This achieves a realistic look
to the drawing, looking as if there is
actually a room there.
Size: 9” x 12”“E-Design Studios”
For this project, we had to come up with a business
card for a business we made up. I decided to come
up with a design studio as my business and wanted
to go for a modern but eye catching design for the
card and logo. I based my design off of rainbow
triangle-like shapes, incorporating this pattern into
the card design and using these shapes and colors
for the logo so it all ties in together as well.

“Water Animal Wrapping Paper”
I wanted to create a wrapping paper that could be
used for all occasions that was cute and visually
appealing, so I decided to make a water animal
themed wrapping paper design. The animals all have
cute and simple designs that would be easy to
implement on a wrapping paper, all sharing the same
theme of being adorable and helping you celebrate
occasions from their underwater homes.

“Life in Space”
In this art piece, I incorporated a poem into an image that describes the
concept of the poem, making it look as if it were a page from a poetry book.
The poem is about how life is incredibly similar to space, so the painting
reflects space and the road of life we take.

I made this watercolor painting of a koi fish in the
summer of 2020. It started off as a basic sketch with
light lines. I used watercolor and added some
shadows and a lily pad to fill some space.
This is a raw photograph of
my dog, Rusty. He's usually
laying in the sun creating a
lighting effect around his face
or body. This lighting
highlights some of his unique
features such as his light blue
eyes or the symmetry
throughout him.Quinn Morgan
Grade 11
I captured this photograph at a lacrosse game using my t6
canon rebel. Was using my zoom lens and had the
camera on sport mode. This photo is unedited.
I made this in the summer of 2020 just to try things
out on photoshop. I started off by taking a photo of
my dog. I then made a duplicate of the photo,
making one black and white and putting a filter of
the other to make his eye the color in the photo
above. Carefully, I traced out his eye from the color
photo and put it over the black and white eye in
photoshop.Quinn Morgan

The inspiration behind this piece
was to provide awareness for mental
health. While most times people
look fine on the outside, nobody
really knows what's going on inside
of their head. The gray inside of the
head is supposed to represent
cloudy thoughts. The head is
cracked and has a few common
mental illnesses leaking out from it.Isabelle Paquette Grade: 11

Poetry Art Piece:
This tray incorporates a collage of different
magazine papers and dictionary words.
The tray has a poem applied to its walls that read
"Oh, to be a blue. In an ocean of yellow. Is change an
option?"
The piece features a paint bucket in the lower right
corner with yellow paint in it and a section of blue in
the upper left corner. This ties into the meaning of the
poem. It questions that even if the pieces of blue were
to be painted yellow, would they truly be yellow or
simply appear yellow on the outside as to fit in with
the rest of the collage.
The piece also includes dictionary words: transfer,
change, blue, and the prefix trans-Isabelle Paquette Grade: 11

oil pastelesA Fish in the Midst A Little Bit of Hope The Old Junk
In preparation for Christmas, throughout the drawing, there lies meaning.
The background takes place during winter, but the main center of the card is
a dove that symbolizes hope and peace. Along with a quote by Saint
Augustine saying, “There is no love without hope, no hope without love, and
neither hope nor love without faith,” I chose this quote to represent the
missing piece we need during these difficult times, and instead of negativity,
we should look be more positive to hope for the bright sides and seize this
opportunity of feeling love and hope during these times. Finally, the last
representation is the dove’s feet. In the drawing, the dove has two different
colored feet to represent that not only everyone is equal, but everyone in
need of a bit of hope, love, and peace.

Old tales and legends tell the story of many mysterious beasts with abilities and appearances. Believed in
much so, suddenly they are in hiding for fearing the horror of being spotted. But with time, often these once

portray the remembrance of what this monster's life could have been like until they went to hiding. Therefore

5x5x6Sammy Figueroa I title this painting “The blood of Victims” to portray those in our Black Community who have lost their life to systematic racism/police brutality. People in today’s society need to educate themselves on what it is to be black as well as black culture because if they are just going to do the bare minimum then they shouldn’t do it at all. This also points to private Catholic schools such as stang to educate themselves and be more aware and not so uptight.
Sammy Figueroa The title of this painting is “2020” I chose this name because I feel as though it portrays 2020 in a painting very well. Though this painting could have many meanings besides the heartbreak that this world has been through the past year. I made this painting to show the pain that this world has gone through but with making this painting the only intention I had was for people to be able to relate to this painting.

I used the style of surrealism by the artist known as
Salvador Dalí and I took inspiration from a painting he did
called “The Hands”. I chose this painting of his because
hands can portray a person’s message, In which I did for
