June 2022 - Independence

I designed this to depict independence since it implies that no one will always be your shield and that you must strive for your freedom.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" (A Tale of Two Cities).
At last, the dawn will arrive one day.

Independence day is a holiday in which we celebrate the independence of the United States.
We should cherish the people who contributed to the independence of our country.

The eagle symbolizes strength and freedom to America.
How it fits the theme is because the founding father chose the bald eagle as its symbol of freedom.

May 2022 - Empowerment

My art represents empowerment. Everyone should have equal rights for education, jobs, etc. No racism should be allowed in this community. We should respect cultures from all around the world.

Powering Yourself
My artwork represents how everyone has so much power in their heart, and I drew the heart as a lotus flower. The heart is giving out the power to the brain and body to achieve goals that this person wants to accomplish. The main idea I wanted to depict here is how one can give themself power when one needs it, and can only have the amount of power one gives oneself. By this, I mean that if one believes one has a lot of power, one will have a lot of power. If one believes that one is weak, that one will be powerless and weak. So, only you can set restrictions on yourself and your power.

April 2022 - Earth

Alexa Chiochankitmun, 7th Grade

My aunt is a environmentalist and lobbyist in DC. Last month I did the polar bear plunge to keep winter cold. My team raised over three thousand dollars. In my multimedia collage, I used my t-shirt, which is the background with the earth, stickers, pins, postcards, magazine pictures, and a turtle magnet. I am very passionate about the earth and saving our planet, and I hope that others feel the same.

We live in a world where we are surrounded by imagination and creation. Here, in the drawing I drawn, is a magical sky I imagine that is somewhere on the future planet. Our imagination isn't limited to existing landscapes, but is beyond the outline. Therefore, I wanted to show what we can create throughout the process of this artwork. I found several references and worked with all of them, seeing how it connects with the drawing. I also added aspects such as the fishes on top of the drawing to fulfill this drawing. During research time, I found a couple of drawings that included birds in the drawings, and saw one that's with the whales, and I chose that one as my reference. In conclusion, art isn't a subject where we limit ourselves; Instead, see it further on the undiscovered earth.

This is my spring art. I drew a cherry blossom tree with mountains and birds. In spring, many flowers begin to bloom and cherry blossom trees begin to turn pink which is beautiful and pretty.

This collage includes earth tones, which are the brown shades. It also has bottles to represent recycling, animals, and other nature elements. It's inspired by the beauty of earth.

March 2022 - Community

My art represents the theme of “Community” because it shows many people of diverse backgrounds coming together.

Abrar M., 6th Grade

February 2022 - Diversity

My artwork shows 6 colleagues coming together to discuss how they can increase awareness about diversity in their workplace. This group represents different age groups, genders, ethnicities, and disabilities. They are going to present their idea at an upcoming meeting to their organization.

Nandita Bangalore, 7th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

I created a collage depicting diversity by cutting and ripping images from magazines of different people. My collage shows people of different races and ages (old and young). Also, cutting out their features to show that we are all different. Lastly, I cut out big letters of different colors and fonts spelling out the word diversity and put it on the bottom of the paper because that is theme and it matches with my collage. The world is full of all different people.

Bella Donato, 8th Grade

In my illustration above, he is one of the novel's main characters. As a child, he experienced a traumatic life. Despite having experienced situations that should not have occurred throughout his childhood, he still embraces the world and life. That is all being taught by society and diversity around him just like anyone else.

Lisa H., 8th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

This is a drawing I made to represent the diversity in the world. Everybody is unique, whether its traditions, art, food, clothing, etc.
We should respect everyone for who they are.

Abrar M., 6th Grade

January 2022 - Courage

In this drawing I combined the elements of Ancient Chinese theme. He is the main male lead in the book and is a Rosefinch. His wings behind represents the willing to seek out in the world and butterflies represents freedom. With freedom the butterflies flaps their wings guiding us with courage. "Courage is knowing what not to fair," so we can always fly out and discover.

Lisa H., 8th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

This collage symbolizes courage through a fist, a quote, and the color red, which to me is fearsome and bold. I used decorative paper, old magazines, stickers, washi tape, and ink and gel pens to create my collage. You can make collages with pretty much anything!

December 2021 - Imaginary Places

I made a digital art piece showing an imaginary place. It includes a lady and her dog star-gazing. They are looking at a sky that is filled with stars while sitting on a lock in the middle of a lake. This is an imaginary place for me because I have never been to a place with so many stars in the sky and a place this tranquil and serene. I imagine that crickets are chirping, frogs croaking, and the water splashing. Those sounds composed by nature’s music make me feel calm.

Nandita Bangalore, 7th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

This piece of art represents imaginary places. With COVID and all, we cannot travel as much, so I made a runway that is heading towards a land with imaginary creatures. In this land, you can explore or relax as it can be whatever you want it to be and "The Possibilities Are Endless".
In addition to that, you can fight those imaginary creatures, if you like going on adventures.

Bella Donato, 8th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

The theme is “Imaginary Places.” The picture I drew is of a fantasy animal. It has big ears, feathers, a long neck popping out of the ground, a smile taking up most of its face like the Cheshire Cat, and sunken black holes for eyes. The reason why it’s not colored is because the focus is on the shading and the small details. There is also an inhumanly long finger pointing at the animal with a ring on it. There is a cave with holes all over in the corner. It is a scene that could only be imagined.

Emma F.

The theme for November is “imaginary places”. So, I thought of somewhere mystical, magical, and beautifully natural. I came up with two ideas, and couldn’t bear to use only one of them, so I’m sending in both. I’m sure many people will think of books and movies, but I feel that space can be almost unreal in how vast and beautiful it is, and to think, a couple decades ago it was an unreal concept. Mountains and forests can also seem imaginary - walking under a vast expanse of leaf canopy. My cousin recently had his wedding on the top of a mountain and it seemed like an imaginary setting with all my family and the beautiful view. So to me the mountains and forests of the natural world and space are an imaginary place that we don’t truly deserve to have.

Sophia Neufeld, 7th Grade

This is a world that I created where the clouds cry, the bugs are big, and the water is purple. A little mushroom sits in the middle of the mysterious forest.
This is a dream place that I would like to visit.

Charlotte S., 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

I created this painting with no thoughts in my head. I wanted to stick true to the theme of "imaginary places", and I decided to imagine what it looked like as I went along. It shows a starry evening, filled with curious things and little clouds that merge into the night sky like a misty fog. There are two hills, like something out of a children's book, perfect for little people to run across. They seem to glow, giving it a magical aura.
This is my imaginary place, a place I could run off to, a place all of my own!

November 2021 - Thriving

I made a digital art showing how students at Herbert Hoover Middle School are thriving. I made 3 panels showing different ways students are flourishing. The first panel has kids outside during PE holding hands and playing a game. In the second panel, there are 3 kids eating lunch together, and in the last panel, there is a whiteboard for math class. In the first and the second panel, the kids are smiling and laughing, indicating that Hoover is an enjoyable place. The third panel shows that the students are learning and excelling in the class.

Nandita Bangalore, 7th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

This collage that I made relates to the theme "Thriving" because it shows how I thrive in dark times like Covid. I drew and put a Covid germ cartoon in the middle to show I will still thrive and Covid will NOT BREAK ME DOWN!! I included words like "Thrive" "Back to life'' and "Go farther in my college because they are inspirational words that show thriving and positivity!! I also included a picture of eyes because in Covid we all wear masks and we only see eyes and we use our eyes to express ourselves and see the world in a different light. Lastly, I added a picture of flowers because it shows that I am thriving and blooming in Covid.

Bella Donato, 8th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

The theme is “Thriving.” This sketch is of a beautiful and successful queen. I worked hard on the features and was focused on the details because of that I didn’t color. I have thrived.

Emma F.

* * * * * * * * * *

In my artwork I drew a tree, thriving along with other wildlife. There are many ways we can contribute to helping our planet thrive, including to conserve water, recycle, and to plant more trees.

October 2021 - Memories

My memory box has pictures of most of my important memories from childhood. There are balloons that make me retain my memory of birthday parties and my friends’ birthday parties. I have included my favorite animals because I love going to the zoo and farms. The piano and mic are there because I sing and play the piano. My accomplishments are symbolized by trophies, medals, and my Karate black belt. Some of the things I like the most such as candies and my favorite clothes are in the box as well. All these items in the box are important to me because they all played a role in my life.

Nandita Bangalore, 7th Grade

I call this one “Young Princess.” This picture I drew is of a princess in pink with flowers everywhere. The memory part is that the princess in the drawing is based off of the Barbie movies I used to watch growing up. I have many happy memories of watching Barbie Nutcracker and Barbie Island Princess.
I thought it would make a great picture for memories.

Emma F.

* * * * * * * * * *

For this artwork I drew, the time is running out as I'm graduating middle school this year. However, time doesn't take away the memories we shared. I will forever remember Hoover and my teachers. After a couple of springs with flowers bloom and fade; the next time I come back to Hoover everything's going to change.
The teachers, staffs, and students, etc. Even so, the memories stored here will always stay.

Lisa H., 8th Grade

I wanted to reflect my memories of 2020 which was one of the toughest years for all.

Our memories surround us each day and bring us the widest range of emotions.
For me, birthdays are an especially prominent part of my memory, offering a milestone for the years of growth.

I drew this picture to record the beautiful moment of sunset when I was at a beach with my family in Cancun, Mexico two years ago.

I was stunned to see that even though the sun set, it left us a colorful world.
It’s like those good memories-the memories of friendship, kindness, and love – always give us the strength to see the color of hope.

September 2021 - I'm Ready

This comic shows the different stages of summer break, starting with "time to relax", to "I am ready to go to school!" In the first two panels, the girl is relaxing and doing leisurely activities like watching TV. As summer progresses she starts getting a bit bored of all the free time and misses school. She plans for school by getting her supplies ready. In the last panel, the girl is at her bus stop saying that she is ready for the school year.

The Treasured Support
In the drawing there are two people, a mother and her son. It's a mother's job to prepare her offspring for adult life and as you can see he is now grown as is ready to leave the nest yet they are still walking hand in hand supporting each other on their journey towards the future because though he may be ready, she will still be there for him no matter what and he will be there for her as she gets older and needs his help to prepare for her for her future they continue down the path of time together so long as they have each other they will be ready for whatever happens next.

Emma F.

* * * * * * * * * *

I’m ready to start middle school and I got all of my supplies with me too. I drew a picture of myself and a backpack spilling out school supplies and other materials I may use. The rainbow represents how happy I am feeling. I’m excited to meet people and make new friends. This will be a great year!

This is a drawing representing the first day of school during the COVID-19 pandemic. I like this drawing and I think it fits the theme “I am ready” since in the drawing
I already have all my books, notes, pencils and pens ready!

When I thought about the theme "I'm ready" for September, that made me think of a checklist, with the things I need to be prepared for school.
Hope everyone has a great start back to school!

August 2021 - The Ocean

The ocean is very important for trade and commerce. It helps transport cargo between different parts of the world. In my drawing, I show that there are two continents that are separated by an ocean. There are ships that transport different commodities produced from one part of the world to another. For example, the continent on the right has greens, so they are giving to the other continent. The ocean provides a way for people to do business and help each other.

Nandita Bangalore, 7th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

The artwork represents the theme because it is centered on the ocean and two girls reflecting on the ocean. One is studying the inhabitants and ecosystem; and each organism is outlined to show the different water zones in the ocean and how they are connected. The other is studying how to help protect the ocean and what materials harm wildlife. Finally, both are taking in the vast, beautiful, and mysterious ocean.

Julianne Elam, 8th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

This drawing of a beautiful tropical beach is one of my best. I love this picture because I worked very hard on the animals. The water in the background looks very refreshing.

Emma F.

* * * * * * * * * *

This is a picture of the ocean and it shows multiple types of sea life.

Samuel F.

* * * * * * * * * *

When I think of the ocean I wonder what is down below the surface of water. The underwater city of Atlantis as always been a mystery. Even though you may have seen pictures or videos of the city, it is usually a made up topic. So I drew a building similar to the coliseum but with lots of ruined objects and a twist on it. What I mean by ruining is adding some sea grass growing on the pillars. Plus fish and sharks swimming around it and taking chunks of concrete out of it. This is why I choose to draw Atlantis as a representation of the ocean because I find this interesting and an exciting topic to draw.

Caden McCuien, 6th Grade

The mighty, mossy manatee is a threatened species. This manatee is swimming in the ocean near Florida.

Charlotte S., 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

The ocean is home to over 200,000 unique and beautiful marine species which we have spent decades researching. However, despite many of the disastrous effects of continuously polluting the ocean and global warming we have yet to take initiative in protecting our oceans. My artwork symbolizes a glimmer of hope in the current situation the ocean and marine species are in. Although like fog, the life from the ocean may fade away, we can still work to transform the future of the ocean and preserve its inhabitants by starting now to make a difference.

Alexandra Wu, 7th Grade

July 2021 - Relax

This summer, I want to stay relaxed, calm and peaceful. When I want to have very few things in my mind. Less busy, I want to cut down on thinking about electronics, food, or clothes. I want to do things that make me feel calm, such as, reading books and being in nature. In my art, I show a person that is serene. She is thinking about the beach, books, and exploring the wilderness. The things that she wants to cut down on are greyed out.

Nandita Bangalore, 7th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

This artwork is relaxing for many reasons, one being the color pallet purple and the way it is mixed with cool colors and my splatting it on the clean white background is so satisfying it puts me at ease. The other reason besides coloring is the fact that I made it at summer camp a sunny place to go and unwind and be grateful for school being out for a short time. Lastly I chose to depict a calming tree that invokes nature. There may not be any green but the trunk is a nice earthy brown color.

Emma F.

* * * * * * * * * *

I relax by sitting in bed and reading a book. It calms me down and helps me fall asleep.
Charlotte S., 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

When I imagine summer, I see myself reading a book, on the beach, and feeling the sand between my toes. Summer is about relaxing after a stressful school year and doing things that you enjoy! I hope everyone has a great summer, reflects on the wild year, and looks forward to a brighter future!

Ava V., 8th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

When you are relaxed, all the things bothering you go away, and you are free from what would usually make you anxious or tense. In this painting, I depicted "relaxation" as a feeling when you are calm and content. I painted my family's usual summer trips to Rio to feed the ducks and to ride the fun-shaped animal boats. Summer and spending time with my family is truly a time where I could relax and feel at ease. Relaxing also allows us to make some of the best memories, no matter how simple the activity is. When we relax, our lives are full of joy and are worry free.

Alexandra Wu, 7th Grade

June 2021 - Inner Strength

There is great strength within us, all we need to do is find it. Strength is not just what appears on the outside, but it is mental and emotional strength. It is through our inner strength that we can deal with challenges and bring out hidden abilities. I created a digital art that shows a kid that is strong from the inside. She has a stronger version of herself in her heart.

Nandita Bangalore, 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

My artwork shows a young girl who feels strong and powerful like a superhero, which is her inner strength. The silhouette behind her shows her inner strength. Around the silhouette are words related to her inner strength and how the girl feels.

Valerie Song, 8th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

Inner strength is not easy, but there always needs to be an abundance of it. In my art work, a girl is being bullied and shamed for being LGBTQ+. Even with the harsh words firing at her, breaking her slowly, she remains resilient. You may not notice at first, but her heart is un-injured. No one deserves to be hated for being themselves. We all may seem to shatter beneath the arrows of anger shot at us, but we still believe in ourselves. We have inner strength. We may seem breakable, and believe me; we are. But we will always know that people aren't able to change us, and they have no right to. Inner strength! Fighting!

May 2021 - Breaking Barriers

This drawing is called the "Blue Butterfly Ballerina." The color blue and butterflies symbolize autism. The ballerina in the middle is autistic and the other ones are neurotypical. The groundbreaking thing in this picture that I drew is the autistic girl is being acknowledged and the other girls are willing to believe that her disability is real. They are willing to accommodate her needs and this is something that is depressingly still an issue and I hope to see some real life examples in the future.

Emma Field

* * * * * * * * * *

My artwork shows Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. giving a speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial, and my artwork is about how Dr. King broke the "barrier" of segregation.

Sohum M. Sen, 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

Breaking barriers is breaking the limits on what is thought to be impossible. Space exploration portrays going beyond what was once thought to be out of the question. Although facing many barriers and doubt, astronauts were able to fly into space, representing that even though there might be many barriers in the way, there are no limits to what is possible.

Alexandra Wu, 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

As May is AAPI month, I decided to draw two actresses who were pioneers for Asian representation in the film industry. Anna May Wong is largely regarded to be the first Chinese-American Hollywood actress, while Awkwafina (Nora Lum) is the first Asian woman to earn a Golden Globe award in a lead actress category. Although they did not live in the same time period, they both broke barriers in the film industry and are still inspirations today.

April 2021 - Earth's Restoration

My artwork portrays a factory going offline.

Ronit Chattaraj, 8th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

Restoring our Earth is more than just picking up litter. We need to educate ourselves and peers. On June 22 of 1969, the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland caught on fire. A river. How did this happen? The river was covered in oil slicks, an aftereffect of manufacturing factories. In other words, it was an aftereffect of human's carelessness towards the Earth. More recently, as of March 26, 2021, large fires were reported in nine states. Between 1/1/2011-3/26/2011, there were 16,543 fires. Between 1/1/2021-3/26/2021, there were 9,230. Although there has been a significant change in the last 10 years, we can and must progress. Instead of driving to a close location, bike or walk. Check out https://www.earthday.org/ to find more ways to help restore our Earth. Also, continue to pick up litter!

Together, we can restore Earth.

Carina H., 7th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

My artwork shows how we can help the Earth with recycling, and how it can be Earth's "restoration".

Sohum Sen, 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

When I think about Earth, my mind always floats to the one question I have never been able to answer. What was our planet like before humans existed? I may not have the exact replica of it printed in my brain, but I have a vision. I imagine clear skies, not polluted by gasses and smoke. I imagine trees and plants growing freely, strong and lively. I imagine animals roaming around their natural habitats without worrying about if their homes homes will be destroyed. Every single organism existing together in perfect harmony. That is what I see, and that is what I hope us, as beings of nature, will achieve.

Anjali Trevor, 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

Earth provides us with everything we need. My artwork shows the tiny baby steps we can all take to save our planet. Trees are not only a great way to make our planet greener, but it's also symbolic of growth. My artwork depicts something growing, taking on a different form. It shows that although we aren't starting at a very good place, each little step we take will contribute to our Earth's restoration.

Katherine Xue, 7th Grade

March 2021 - New Beginnings

Like a caterpillar morphs into a butterfly, every end is a new beginning.

Henna Jain, 7th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

Spring gives new birth to beautiful trees, plants, and baby animals. So too does it give us a new beginning for opportunity and hope.

Natalie Sidawy, 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

We have made many mistakes in the past. From forest fires in California, to the mistakes of using drugs and other factors that harm our health. In my artwork, I included as many mistakes as any normal human could have made, and the problems that us as a whole created. I look at it in the form of a book. Our past that has been written in history, has been printed on the pages to the left. We have always had the chance to change our fate, make our world better, but we have never turned that page. We have kept re reading our old mistakes, unable to accept that we can change. On the page to the right is what can be, and what will be our lives after that change. Peace and equality for all, and our earth healthier than ever.

Us humans owe a mountain of debt to each other and our Earth, they have provided love, shelter, nutrition, and care for us. I feel it is, and has been for a very long time now, time to change our selfish ways of taking and not giving back. We must stand together to face these challenges and conquer them. It is time to let go of your past mistakes, and make way for all the good deeds you have done, and will do forever. We must turn the pages in the books of our lives, start anew on a new page, a new chapter for all of us.

A new chapter for us to fill. A new era of peace and harmony that we know we can achieve.

A new beginning.

Anjali Trevor, 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

My drawing represents the new beginning of life. We all start off as new, awaiting to grow and develop.

Ava Van Vuren, 7th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

New beginnings come from the courage to start and pursue them. My drawing shows a courageous girl who persevered through obstacles to meet a bright and hopeful new beginning.

February 2021 - Diversity

Tess Hagger, 8th Grade

I really enjoyed the drawing focused on Diversity that is very important to me.
My picture means "we maybe from different backgrounds with different colors, but we are all the same."

Lucia Jancikova, 6th Grade

Each note on a piano is different, but when the notes unite, they make beautiful music. As unique as a music note, each one of us can raise our voices and together we can make a harmonious future.

Natalie Sidawy, 6th Grade

My drawing shows diversity because it depicts people of different races and backgrounds playing volleyball together. I enjoy playing volleyball, so I decided to incorporate diversity into something I'm passionate about.

Valerie Song, 8th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

Diversity means inclusion and I believe that is what Hoover is all about. Including people of all kinds.

Ava V., 7th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

Like growing a plant, my drawing reflects diversity through showing that it takes all our different qualities combined together to help nurture and grow the unique flower that is the Earth.

Alexandra Wu, 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

Diversity has long been an "ideal" standard -- the idea of accepting and respecting each other, despite our differences and similarities. It also means that we have to appreciate the beauty in these differences. Personally, that meant including that in my art, so with this piece, I wanted to practice drawing women with darker skin. We shouldn't judge people by their race, gender, etc. but rather by their moral qualities.

Katherine Xue, 7th Grade

January 2021 - Looking Forward

My painting might seem just like a normal painting, but every part is thought out. The large trees are adults, the small white sprouts are children. The sprouts are white to symbolize the sort of idolize or being a child. Children are bright, fresh. Being to be able to have a freedom that a child has is a joy. The trees are adults who have stopped moving forward. The trees are black with hints of green because adults are able to move forward, but choose not to. They have creativity, but they don’t create. The moon is a mixture of purples and blues and a different texture to idolize a position others can’t be. But we need to realize that the people and things we idolize, are us. They have just moved forward. The snow, are people who are currently moving forward, but they are free. The more people can look forward, the more they see the bigger picture, the more they’re free. I hope you can all understand my painting and explanation. Enjoy.

Elizabeth Chung, 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

I interpreted the theme of “LOOKING Forward” literally by drawing eyes. There is a black and white eye representing the year 2020. It includes images of major events during 2020 (the Black Lives Matter Movement, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics being postponed, and the COVID-19 Pandemic). The edges of the eye are shattered. The other eye is in color, and looks better. It represents what 2021 will hopefully look like-better than this year.

Carina He, 7th Grade

My drawing, "Looking Beyond", is of a girl who is gazing at the moon with eagerness and anticipation for whatever awaits her.

December 2020 - Music

When I listen to music, I feel happy and excited. Sometimes I feel calm. I also feel like dancing. My painting is a ballerina dancing to music, and there are real crayons on the top that are melting which are supposed to be the radiant sky and rain.

Nandita Bangalore, 6th Grade

* * * * * * * * * *

My painting is called “The Joy of Music”. It is about a girl who is walking on a gloomy, dark, rainy day. However, she hears the cheerful music around her and it lifts her spirits and brings color to her world.

Sohum Sen, 6th Grade

I’m thankful for the diversity and the culture in today’s world. I think it’s important to recognize the good and bad about our history, and as Thanksgiving comes near, we have to remember the sacrifices that Indigenous peoples made in the creation of what we know today as the USA. We have to become more loving and more accepting of everyone, and in order to do that, we have to acknowledge what we’ve done wrong and make the choice to change.

October 2020 - The Future

In the future, I wish for humans to be more kind to nature and animals, protecting endangered species and taking care of our Earth. In my drawing, I show an orangutan, three-toed sloth, toucan, and parrot, all endangered animals in the rain forest. However, in the future, I would hope that these species move off of the endangered list and enjoy their freedom. Also, in my drawing, the Earth is lush, green, and healthy, and the girl is living in harmony with nature.
