Arlington High School recently held its annual Art Show, featuring a vast collection of artistic works created by the school’s talented students. The exhibition, which was held in the school’s rotunda, attracted a large crowd of parents, students, and art enthusiasts.
The show featured a variety of art forms, including paintings, drawings, mixed media, and photographs. One of the featured artists, Aaliyah Ware, wrote in her description of her work, “My portfolio is an expansion of an original piece of artwork I made in Art 1, which was called the ‘Solar System Cafe’. In that piece I replaced all the human heads with planet heads.” Aaliyah Ware is an AP Studio Art student and her work in the show was noticed by many. “To portray our solar system I mainly used watercolor, assortments of color pastels, gauche, acrylic paint, and various materials such as gold/silver leaf, glass, real photos, ad feathers to incorporate synthesis in some of my pieces.” said Ware. “I researched certain qualities of each subject and also incorporated some characteristics humanity has put on our solar system through time.”
