Fragments of Fall

Nailah Cannon '24 Hi, I’m Nailah.  I’m a junior and I have been drawing since I was about five years old.  In middle school, I started to experiment with different mediums like water colors, oil pastels, oil paints, and acrylic paint, but in the end, I decided  that I liked acrylic paint the best, since I found them fairly easy to work with and I adored the vibrant colors and textures th...

Anni Kristine '24, Section Editor Recently, most of my work has experimented with monotone color palates and shadow dynamics. With that in mind, I created this piece only using a very saturated orange and black. I often experience anxiety in my everyday life and I like to depict as a blinding entity in the dark. In this particular piece, I wanted to illustrate how I feel when my anxiety is at its...

Emma Pham '23 Inspired by the spirit of Halloween, this digital piece encapsulates the notion of inner turmoil beneath one’s outward appearance. I utilized control of light and shadow within the piece to accentuate the the subject and express emotion with an absence of facial expressions.

Ben Schultz '25 This piece was inspired by one of the most iconic images of Halloween: pumpkins. I painted it in Procreate using only the Nikko Rull brush, a brush that I have been experimenting with a lot lately.

Oscar Ortega '24 I took inspiration from the celebration of Día de los Muertos and traditional Mexican folklorico dancers. I wanted to display this as an homage to my Mexican origin which I hold close to me.

Daniella Koo '26 For the drawing I used Procreate and since the theme was Halloween, I decided to draw a witch. I used to watch a lot of shows in cute styles when I was younger, so my art style is pretty influenced by it.

Kimberly Ngo '25 The drawing generally started from my friends helping me brainstorm things for the drawing, I just knew I wanted to put a dog in it, they gave me a number of fun ideas and I decided to go with this one! The drawing is supposed to be a dog with a basket of treats from Halloween....

Anousha Ghiya '24 I drew Alex (Totally Spies) dressed up as a Hufflepuff because it matches with her aesthetic, and she seems like she’d be the most invested main character in Halloween. The ghosts are there for spooky effect and to bring out the yellow in her costume....
