Welcome to the Simi Valley High School Virtual Student Art Gallery.

Making and viewing art is an excellent way to boost your confidence and alleviate stress.

Each month, this page will be updated with a new art prompt. You will have the entire month to create an art piece inspired by the prompt. Then, you can upload it here for display!

You do not have to be an artist to participate! We would love to see all skill levels.

It's possible to post anonymously, but we would love to know who you are in case we want to feature you in the Pioneer Gram!

Posts will require moderator approval before they show up here.

RULES/GUIDELINES

Any art form that can be photographed or scanned is acceptable here.

You do NOT have to make a masterpiece! This should be fun and relaxing - please post your art even if it isn't perfect!

Keep your art community-friendly: no extreme violence, sexual content, encouragement of substance abuse, etc.

This is a painting of my dad on top of a palm tree looking into the city of Los Angeles and seeing una vida mejor, which in english means a better life. For my dad and many other latino dads it is very common to go up these tall palm trees without anything to catch them if they fall. They would risk their own lives for their children to have a better life.  To me it is way more than a political cartoon, to me this painting represents all the blood, sweat and tears my parents have gone through for the American Dream.

This image is my reimagined version of a character from Czech folktales: an evil pond spirit called the Hastrman, who lures people to their doom and keeps their souls trapped in his cup. As a child, I was always enchanted by his strange cautionary tale. I decided to redraw him as I had always imagined he would be: rather than the almost troll-like older frog man he is generally depicted as, I made him younger, less threatening, and perhaps much more charming, cunning, and dangerous.

My favourite character from the anime 'Jojo's Bizarre Adventure'. I envy him because he traveled from Japan to Egypt to help save the mother of someone he just met. He is also a well scripted character and tries to do the right thing even though that sometimes may hurt. He helped save so many people even though he was only 17 and still managed to help save his friends lives in his last moments because he figured out the secret to the enemy's ability.

One of my favorite characters is Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, and The Mandalorian. I admire her because she is a very strong person. She is perceptive and kind to others, and she tries to always do the right thing.

So here I drew the jedi Cal kestis from Jedi Fallen Order and I chose him as my favorite character because he has such a cool story such as surviving order 66.

I used Autodesk to draw an Icelandic Landscape. The proverb at the bottom translates to "to lay one's head in water," in English, but it means the same thing as our saying "sleep on it," and is used when making a decision.

I used gouache paint on a canvas :) I visited Santorini two years ago and it was so beautiful and felt inspired to paint it!
