Painting 2009
Graphic Artist, Shepherd Fairey used an AP photo by Michael Garcia to create his famous campaign poster of Barrack Obama. His original now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery
Victoria's pose and color choices, make this look like one of 60's Pop Artist Andy Warhol's portraits of Hollywood stars. She received a Judge's Choice ribbon for this painting at the first annual Western Valley Conference Art Show March 20-2 hosted by West Monona HS in Onawa.
Nisha's analogous color scheme (next to each other on the color wheel) make it look like she's deep in the ocean
Christine's monochromatic (one color in different shades) almost looks like a photograph in maroon, red, and pink
Rosario's color choices make this look like an actual thermal scan using an infrared imaging divice
Billie used the same patriotic colors as our exemplar, Shepherd Fairey. It really intensifies her eyes.
Megan used only the primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) making this a very striking composition
Luke's striking yellow background and limiting himself to just four shades, really makes this look like a comic book image
