In addition to our BEAST electives, Fullerton Union High School offers multiple art classes including 3D Design, Drawing and Painting, Special Studies, AP Art, IB Art, Foundations Photo, Intermediate Photo, Advanced Photo and AP Photo. Art allows students to learn about what intrigues them. Senior Larissa Brombley is an AP Art Pathway Artist who uses her art to tell stories and has mastered the craft over her four years in the art program. Others, like AP pathway senior Jiyoung Lee, make art to show emotion and silliness. Students like sophomore Tess Cagley show us that students can create art without taking an FUHS class. With a sampling of visual art pieces that range in style and purpose, the Tribe Tribune presents our 2023 Spring Art Catalog.
Senior Alexa Lewis, Featured Artist
Senior Alexa Lewis is a former IB-Art student, who strives to show her “experiences as a human” through art. In her piece “H” (left) Alexa created a composite portrait by combining images of three of her friends into one person. In “Red, Myself, and Passing”(center), she explores multiple topics. Firstly the style is reminiscent of her upbringing in a tattoo shop and her aspiration to be a tattoo artist. The figure is what Alexa saw as the so-called “perfect body,” what represents the struggle and danger of body dysmorphia. The piece ”Untitled” (right) was an expression of grief and mourning due to the passing of her friend.
