Laura Nash Teacher • Resting Gaze - Laura Nash
oil on panel, mounted, 18” x 24” 2023
When we rest our eyes on the surrounding nature, in the city, we see the natural growth patterns intersecting with man-made structures.

The resting gaze is on a view that engages the eyes and lets the mind wander, like dreaming while awake

Michele Kelly • Teacher • Dreaming in the Light - Michele Kelly
There are days where I pretend that I have wings and can fly while engulfed in a glowing ball of light. My wings usher me away to a quiet place where I can sit in peace. It is then there, in my peaceful realm, within the safety of my bubble, that I find my way into my dreams. Illuminated by my own personal light, both inside and out. I sparkle and shimmer, while I find my own unique way of self expression with my dreamlike state.

Margarita Ardienko Gr 8 • Burning Away - Lisa Banker
The hollowed out cello, represents the body of a person. The painting tells a story of the life of that person. Each part of the painting illustrates a different stage of life. Childhood is represented by the bright colors and the brightness of the candle. The child is unaware of the world and has no idea what waits in the shadows. In the next stage of life the real world reveals itself. The candle develops flaws. The colors become muted as dreams fade away. Old age brings a grayness as the years have melted away. Past memories arise and the person tries to recapture their childhood.
Eugenie Cherednychenko Gr 8 • Who Is That Girl? - Lisa Banker
The girl is stuck within a portal. Her limbs have been stretched out throughout her years in confinement. She exists within a black abyss. She is being sucked in. What does it all mean? Why was she confined to the portal? Who put her in there? Will she get out? The image illustrates the chaos of dreams. It shows what a dream feels like and how bizarre dreams can be. Dreams have meaning and are a reflection of your feelings. This artwork shows that struggles are real and it is okay to feel overwhelmed by them.
Eyup Keller Gr 8 • For the Birds- Lisa Banker (1)
The artwork shows a park overlooking a body of water and in the distance a city. You may think that nothing is out of the ordinary, but if you were to take a closer look, you would find that things are a bit confused. The humans and the birds seem to have morphed into each other. The idea came to me because of my adoration of birds. What I really want people to see when they look at this artwork is the attention to detail. I want them to feel that although the pigeon-headed people are just out for a leisurely stroll, something is very, very odd.
Maggie Lee Gr 8 • Xfinity Confined
A room is depicted with rainbow brick walls and a black window creates an illusion of endless space, framing a series of rooms extending infinitely. This evokes curiosity, leaving viewers questioning the room's continuity and what lies beyond. Initially I considered a more subdued color scheme however, the vibrant brick wall provides a striking contrast that enhances the enigmatic nature of the illusion. Through the use of patterns, the ongoing repetition of the room is emphasized, contributing to the sense of an infinite space. Ultimately, I wanted to create a feeling of mystery that sparks intrigue for the viewer.
Connie Lu Gr 8 • The Blooming of Life - Lisa Banker
THE BLOOMING OF LIFE
These images came from parts of dreams that I managed to recall. The painting depicts the blooming of human life and nature. It evokes feelings of tranquility. It tells the story of how something grew out of nothing. The person is the main subject. She has the face of a vast mountainous landscape. She is a representation of every human. Flowers bloom from darkness, strong, tall, and bright. The colorful clouds sweep over the girl like a sunset, symbolizing an end to something but also a new beginning. She is a landscape and the landscape is her.
Salome Mtsariashvili Gr 8 • The Fraility of Nature- Lisa Banker
This artwork is surrealistic and illustrates one of my dreams with my favorite winged insects. The image depicts a bright and happy fantasy world. The flowers and butterflies that usually coexist in nature, are now morphed into one. I used really bright colors and really soft lines to express myself and to create this unusual landscape. I made the butterflies 3-D to give the feeling that the flowers could fly away at any moment. This signifies the frailty of nature and the importance of protecting the environment.
Fiona Shapiro Gr 8 • The Sky's the Limit - Lisa Banker
Reach for your dreams and set your goals higher. My drawing shows a mountainous landscape, it radiates positive energy. The stairs reach to the top of the hand leading to the sky. A girl is about to climb the stairs towards her goals, one step at a time. A crack in the ice below is a reminder that sometimes you will come across challenges and you may fall through the cracks, but there is always hope. Remember, there are hands to help guide you. Never give up on your dreams. The sky’s the limit!
Zirui Sun Gr 8 • What Happened Here? - Lisa Banker
This artwork depicts a dilapidated section of a room filled with a broken vase, trash bags with facial parts, and hands breaking into the house. The image is tense and dark. The broken window reveals a sky full of eyes and sections of rib cages. These objects fill minds with questions about what happened here. We wonder how it looked when it was fresh and new. When did it begin to deteriorate? What became of the people that lived there? Most importantly we wonder, do objects and spaces carry the stories of their past?
Zoe Zhang Gr 8 • Do You Want To Build A Person? - Lisa Banker
In my dream, snowmen replaced humans in society. Instead of humans building snowmen, the snowmen built the humans out of clay.The snowmen lived, and people were fashioned and built from the snowman's imaginations. It may sound odd, but in this dream world it was normal. It was a fun pastime that all young snowmen participated in. I wanted my image to feel joyful and carefree, but also leave the viewer wondering, “How did this world come to be? “ I want them to think about this parallel universe and wonder if our traditions and practices are seen as odd or a bit crazy there.

Milan Ng Gr 7 • The Hamburger Helper -Erin-Marie Elman
You will never see a hamburger with human arms and legs. I can tell you that, But in your dreams it’s possible. Normally burgers don’t have arms and legs and not many would walk towards you. The giant bottles of ketchup and mustard are larger than they seem. There is a giant eye in the background to look down at the burgers. The eye is supposed to be like the moon. The burgers with human arms and human legs could never be “real” but it is very possible to see them in a dream!
SOFIA BRINGAS WU Gr 7 • Water World Erinmarie Elman
The reason why I drew the lantern angler fish for the topic dare to dream is because I think the lights from the angler fish resemble a lantern. The lanterns represent how the angler fish are able to navigate the dark sea. The lanterns also show how the angler fish are strong enough to hold the heavy lanterns. This reflects dare to dream because angler fish are already unusual fish so the lanterns make them even more unusual and strange. The lanterns are able to light up the sea for itself and other fish.

This drawing shows how terrible war is and how it is always happening even if we aren’t aware of it.
Georgia Kolaj Grade 12 • THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE - Michelle Herzek
My artwork is a representation of the people in your life who make you who you are. Some of the missing puzzle pieces are floating throughout the background showing people being a part of each puzzle piece that makes up a person, showing the idea that one person is made up of many other people. The flower in the eye socket is an example of who you blossom into once you fully figure out who you are. I wanted my drawing to overall show the purpose of other people in your life, and how they contribute to making you.
Sebastian Murcia, Gr 12 • Nightmare - Michelle Herzek
This painting is about a nightmare showing having to get across a shaky, broken non-sturdy mountain bridge. There is a possibility that it will collapse into a bloody river with hands the size of dinosaurs to come to get you. The red, green, and black represent anxiety and fear and the idea was inspired by automatism from Surrealism.

neliness and heartbreak which is why the skull is showing death and being apart from everyone.
Celina Soler Grade 12 • TOXIC- Michelle Asarch

These words describe me growing up in the past as they’re feelings and memories I’ve had to embrace in order to keep following my goals into the future.
Sarah Diouri Gr 12 • Summary- Henry Mei
Oftentimes, we fight an internal war trying to understand how we are perceived by others; changing aspects of our own selves to appease the standards we live within. However, in my work, I try to think beyond this and consider all the ways I perceive myself. The theme "Dare to Dream" to me relates to the idea that the moment we consider who we are as a person to ourselves, we can reach our full potential. Through my piece, I hope to encourage others to sit back and think about who they are and all the great things to like about themselves.
Emma Grigoryev Gr 12 • Stars of Self- Henry Mei
It's only natural to dream among the stars. This captivating artwork brings that sentiment to life as a cut-out of myself stands at the forefront, embraced by a celestial array of personality traits. Traits like imaginative, dedicated, jubilant, and dreamer form a constellation around me, illuminating my individuality and inspiring viewers to embrace their own self. Against the cosmic backdrop, the piece embodies the essence of daring to dream, inviting all to embrace their unique qualities and reach for the limitless possibilities ahead.
Maddie Hom Gr 12 • The Words That Help Me Stand- Henry Mei
In my work I used words that describe me and that relate to future dreams or aspirations that I have. For instance, I dream of working in the film industry as a film editor, therefore I used the words film editor and hard worker in my work. Moreover, I used the color purple to highlight those words because purple symbolizes creativity and imagination, which are two characteristics of mine that I use to pursue my dreams.
Trisha Primus Gr 12.• This Is Me
In my artwork you see a bunch of adjectives that are in different shades of yellow and orange and each word has a different font surrounding the cutout of me in the middle with a yellow-orange gradient background.

Romy Swisa Gr 12 • Unseen Uniqueness- Henry Mei
This piece represents who I am in the most literal sense. It showcases who I am internally and what about me, as an individual, makes me unique in a theoretical and visual manner. The theme "Dare to Dream" relates to this piece in that it presents all aspects of who I am as a person and what motivates me to act and aspire to achieve as much as I do. I am constantly motivated by the splices of my personality and dare to dream to expand on my horizons in both intrapersonal and interpersonal situations.
Jazmin Zambrano Gr 12 • Carved - Henry Mei
Reflecting back on ways in which those in my life have described me, I created a text-portrait that displayed the words that carve my identity. While some words describe my appearance, other words describe my personality – both traits engulf me as I sit in the center with a hidden face. Many of my traits have often held me back and been the reason for this need to hide. However, others have allowed me to take risks and push forward. Although parts of me are still hesitant, the majority of me has gained the confidence to dream for more.

I Dream of Becoming A Nurse
My artwork shows that I dream of becoming a nurse. I show this by using four different artistic styles: Realism, Abstraction, Impressionism and Appropriation. I like helping other people.
Ysabella Cahumnas Gr 10 • Dreams of Becoming an Artist- Jennifer Merdjan
Dreams of Becoming an Architect
When I was a kid, I used to draw my dream home, that’s when I was introduced to become an architect. I learned to use my skills to solve problems and understand how things should look and work. Dreaming to become an architect is beautiful because it is about having the power to shape the world. Creating a dream place for people where they feel happy and safe is meaningful. Becoming an architect is a journey filled with creativity, learning, and the joy of seeing your dreams come true. Each step forward feels like bringing that childhood drawing to life.
Kunsang Lama Gr 10 • Dreaming Nurse- Jennifer Merdjan
"Dreaming Nurse," shows my dream of becoming a nurse. I used colors to show feelings like warmth and caring, and shapes to make things look balanced and peaceful. While making this, I found out how art can express what I dream and feel. I learned that keeping things simple and clear helps get my message across better. I like how my artwork conveyed my dream in a simple way. There are important qualities a nurse needs to have, like kindness, understanding, and helping people. My work captures the feeling of caring and healing, which are so important in nursing.
Rita Li Gr 9 • Crossing The Horizon- Lauren Rocco
Along the empty dark road through the forbidden forest are where dreams are made. The place doesn’t seem real, with blue leaves hanging on trees and purple fog surrounding the area from the purple sky. The bright yellow crescent moon shines above the horizon. This relates the topic “dare to dream” by illustrating the lights on the horizon are where dreams are pursued, however, you must dare to risk crossing through the darkness to reach that dream.
LingYang Gr 12 • OF SHIPS and DREAMS Lauren Rocco
This still life was composed of a boat decoration from my birthday cake a few years ago and a classmate’s wooden box gifted by her grandpa and a makeup bottle. I took a picture from different angles with the lights off and my phone’s flashlight on. I settled with a shot from the top, which revealed all the insides of the box. The items all represent different memories important to us, and the way the boat, box, and bottle fit together look like something out of a pirate’s treasure.
Mayvellin Yong Gr 9 • THE DAYDREAM • Lauren Rocco
When I was younger my teacher would assign art projects using different mediums and techniques which would push me out of my comfort zone. This resulted in stronger observational skills and grew into an excitement for pursuing art today. Working with my art teacher has helped me feel more confident about my art and I feel ready to take on more challenges. This project helped me to realize that I could take on new challenges, even when I feel like it isn’t perfect the first try.
Lauren Rocco . Teacher. THE ABYSS
I typically use layers in my work to juxtapose a sense of organization and chaos. I wanted the fish to convey a sense of freedom in an otherwise structured society; expanding beyond the frame of the work. The three-dimensional elements including the fish were designed in a software program called Paint3D.
This year I learned a lot about AI and how to utilize it to expand on my art more. I think that often society condemns AI for what it can do rather than how it can benefit creativity.

As a child I dreamt of doing art forever, but now I kind of dislike art and what it has become for me. Yet I still make art.
Mackenzie Carter Grade 12 • Lunar Knight - Bethany Trust
I dreamt of a woman in yellow and blue colors with a crescent moon behind her, looking down at me in indifference.
Aaron Phansaithon Gr 10 • My Little Landscapes - Bethany Trust
I dream of a place where I can live and see landscapes like this. In my dreams, my miniature watercolor paintings are invitations to all creatures to exist and thrive in. I have always been interested in collecting tiny things, like coins. Recently, I bought a small paintbrush, which inspired me to create these tiny landscapes but ensured they had all the details. I dream of tiny paintings that are as small as a pushpin but as big as my imagination.
(Note: push pin is for scale, not part of the artwork)
Arianna Garnett Grade 11 • The Endless Fall - Bethany Trust.j
I dream of the “endless fall” where its walls are infinite, and its streams are plenty. The sky is always at set. This place is a safe space with minimal rules, and the Korneeliuses stalk harmlessly watching in the tree shadows. WeirdCore’s newest dream dimension. Just…don’t swim in the water….
Tiy Glover Grade12 • Look Out the Window - Bethany Trust.jp
I dreamt I was in a house on the lake. This is what I saw when I looked outside the window.
Alana Lawrence Grade 12 • Peer Pressure - Bethany Trust
I dream of darkness. The shadows of my existence haunt me. I shiver with all inability to move. Is this what you call daydreaming? Because if it is, I never want to dream again. My retinas are unable to reach the surface due to my closed eyelids. It's weird, that dream I had. It's almost like a painted picture of the pressures of my life. This uneasy feeling is unable to be described. I open my eyes. It's a picture called Pure Pressure I created. But then reality haunts me once again, so I go back to dreaming of darkness.
Insiya Yasifa Mamun Grade 12 • Sorrow of the Sea - Bethany Trust
I dream of becoming my best self. A self who strives to be nothing but their own unique identity. My piece shows my dreams of wanting to be my best self, firstly, in the pose of the mermaid. She looks sad from her worries. Wanting to be her best self but facing obstacles that keep her from doing so. The blue/green tones of the piece is one way to show the present yet unseen hindrances. The mermaid being underwater shows the feelings of not being able to express oneself - restrained. Thus, comes the dream to be myself.
Natalie Narine Gr 12 Drowning_Dreams - Bethany Trust
I dream of a life without struggle. In today’s world, it is so easy to be taken away with life, you feel overwhelmed and dead inside. They say, “Go wherever life takes you,” but feel like that statement underestimates the true power of a lost life. This artwork demonstrates that struggle, one where your dreams are washed away, and you have nothing to do but reach out for help. Maybe someone is there to pull you out of this mess, but sometimes the only person who can save you from those demons is yourself.

A girl dreams. Grass grows. What if our environment was allowed to flourish as much as our dreams do? I hope my children will dream big for themselves and I pray for the restoration of our planet. We can co-exist with the visions from our dreams.
