Happy Friday! 🎉 We’re celebrating the weekend by featuring the paintings and photography of VADA Junior Sophia Garofalo (@sophia_garofalo). Read her artist statement below: “I’ve always enjoyed creating art, but more recently have been more interested in both the creation of art and the potential of where art could be in my future. I never thought I would want to purse the creative field but now do in college. I like to depict places I have been and I have experienced through both photography and visual arts using different mediums and share that to interpreted through others eyes”.

Happy #FeaturedFriday! This week we are featuring the incredible portraits of Junior Elsie Ochoa (@elsiewhy)! Elsie’s Statement: “I’ve always enjoyed creating art, and I’m extremely inspired by other artists and what they create through their chosen mediums. I prefer to draw people because it allows me to create pieces that are different from each other because of the variety that comes from different faces and expressions. I want to create art that  people can interpret in their own way. I look forward to experimenting more in my artwork”.
TODAY 4 of our VADA students traveled to Sacramento, California to visit the capital and help lobby for more funding to go towards California Partnership Academies (C.P.A.)! VADA is incredibly thankful for this opportunity and a special thanks goes to @asmmoniquelimon and @senhannahbeth for taking the time out of your day to meet with us! • • #art #illustration #drawing #draw #envywear #picture #artist #sketch #sketchbook #paper #pencil #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #photooftheday #instaartist #graphic #graphics #artoftheday #beautiful #abstract #stayabstract #instaabstract #education #studentart #arteducation #highschool
Today artist, scientist, and adventurer Skye Morret came to VADA to speak with our students about the importance of bridging the gap between art and science! Thank you @sea.meets.skye! 🧬 #vadasbhs #art #design #science #artandscience #education #mentorship
Students Inspiration: Hanna Nishimura is a 9th grader, an artist that inspires her is Zoe Aguerreberry ( @aguebart). Zoe is a modern Instagram artist from London. Student statement: “This artist is very unique in her work and she has very strong style of drawing. Through these works she shows her originality and uniqueness. To me art is one of the most direct and straightforward way to show your feelings and character which is why I love to draw”.
Happy Friday! This week we are featuring the work of VADA Sophomore Raven Skye (@paintingravens)! Raven’s Artist Statement:👉 “I would say that my art has a common motive: a visual that speaks out to be something more. No matter how you interpret it, think about it. I want people to open their eyes and see what my work is trying to say: whether it be about certain people, or the society we live in. No artist ever sent a message by standing back and not speaking out”.
