3-D Art

Here is another artwork by Elizabeth Sandoval. Instead of creating a painting this time around, she created a 3-D art model. Unlike her painting 'Vencindad', she did not have a story behind this artwork. This is just one of her "happiness" creation where she turns stressful things into cheerfulness.

Body Image

Drawing by Lenty Tran
This is a drawing submitted by Lenty Tran, who is a junior at Carnegie Vanguard High School. Her main concern and factor that causes her stress is body image. Usually drawing out the ideal body makes her feel much better about herself. Physical development and self image can cause great stress to teenagers and Lenty Tran is able to relieve that problem by drawing it out.

Multiple Me


This is actually a painting that I painted two years ago. It’s obvious that I am a horrible painter and should stick with 3-D art, but I have to admit this was one of my most powerful paintings. The painting may look violent because it shows that a girl is being bullied by two other girls, but actually it was just representing how I was emotionally harming myself. Freshman year was tough for me and I would always find myself gloomy. The three girls in the painting all represent me, and they represent my multiple emotions. Whenever I do something wrong, I tend to blame myself and treat myself badly. I never talked to anyone about this problem because I find it too personally, but now (two years later) I feel more comfortable sharing it because I no longer have that problem.
