A Peek Into the OHS Art Fest

During the art fest at OHS, our talented students showcase their work in graphic design, drawing, painting, music, and much more. Here's a glance at some of the amazing artistry presented at the showcase!

The majority of my art consists of still life drawings and paintings, which I find to be rather interesting due to the different shadows and lights that can be present. For me, the most interesting thing about making both the charcoal and oil paintings is that I only use 4 shades of grey in my pieces: black, white, light grey, and dark grey - yet, the drawings seem to exhibit an infinite variety of shades! The process to make these can be rather time-consuming, but the results are always far beyond my initial ideas for the pieces.

These days, I mostly work digitally in order to create my paintings. Using the brush and eraser tools, I carefully create each painting in Photoshop. I have been painting traditionally for six years and digitally for three. Typically, it takes me around two to eight hours to finish a painting. My main sources of inspiration come from my best friend, movies/books that I enjoy, and nature.
