Katelin Welsh The Lines that Fate Follows Mixed media 11th Grade, Age 17 The Woodlands High School Conroe ISD Teacher: Jenny Jucas Artist Statement The world of today and the society we live in is made up of lines we draw around ourselves.

Sydney Okazaki Vibrant Catch Acrylic, repurposed wood 7th Grade, Age 12 Creekside Park Junior High School Tomball ISD Teacher: Julie Schulte Artist Statement My favorite colors are always desaturated grey tints, so by adding bright orange colors this was a big step out for me. This painting means contrast to me; the different sides of me. Most will see me as quiet or calm, but friends will see my more vibrant playful side. |

Third Place
Kelsie Brown Orangey Chalk and graphite 8th Grade, Age 14 Kleb Intermediate School Klein ISD Teacher: Vivian Fridley-Hereford Artist Statement After doing timed gesture drawings of live models in class, I was inspired to draw myself in chalk within one class – 20 minutes. Drawing the face in loose gesture style was difficult; getting the eyes and nose in proportion was tricky. Then I experimented with graphite stick and pencil plus chalk in the background and figure to unify. Proportion of foot to the body took some problem solving. |
