Room #1: It just came to me
A Socials assignment I spent too much time on. Coloured with pencils, it is heavily inspired by and references a video game I enjoy. Currently on my classroom wall, subject to change in the near future.

I wanted this piece to fit the early 2000's anime style. The theme I was going for was inspired by those games that are supposed to give you scary "viruses", which is why I gave it a glitch affect with bold teal colours.

Natalie / Dunsmuir / Grade 8
This piece is a landscape I saw on my TV. The colours and the nature inspired me and so I decided to paint it digitally. The purple goes well with the brown mountains and the night sky, the pink and blue clouds blending with the dark canvas.

For this piece, I wanted to go for a angelic aesthetic. I used 3 main colours to this drawing, white, yellow, and blue because I thought it would go very well aesthetically. I gave her soft features and long eyelashes to symbolize beauty.

Owen / Dunsmuir / Grade 8
This piece was made digitally. I was inspired by a Gacha Life Music Video, a classic called Devils don't fly, featuring a devil and an angel's forbidden love. It's very nastolgic and funny to me, so I decided to paint it featuring random little cats.
Olivia / Dunsmuir / Grade 8
Wonder Woman
Natalie / Dunsmuir / Grade 8
