                                           Art Gallery


Please take a moment to look through the Pilibos Art Gallery, which features some of the most recent works from the Fundamentals of Design and Studio Art classes. A special thank you to our absolutely amazing and extremely talented art teacher, Ms. Jessica Anderson. Pilibos is grateful to have such a creative teacher like you. Without your guidance, none of these artworks would have been made. Lastly, a big shout out to our extraordinary students who are extremely talented in the field of art.



                                     Virtual Art Gallery 



                                Fundamentals of Design:







Fundamentals of Design: Black and White Composition: For this assignment students chose their subject matter. They were asked to create a “composition-design” using 50% black and 50% white. They were shown several techniques for spilling the space including "overlapping, interrupted grid, and simplification." Students were also shown many strategies for creating a successful and dynamic composition, such as the rule of thirds and the golden ratio. Students used black acrylic paint to complete this project.









Fundamentals of Design: Paper Mosaic: Students were asked to create a mosaic motif incorporating natural subjects (nature). Students used colored paper between 0.5-1 inch to create their picture. For inspiration students viewed images of the Armenian Bird Mosaic in Jerusalem.








                                      STUDIO ART:

Studio Art: The 2 pictures below contain a combination of Cross Hatching and Cross Contour Lines black and white drawings. The cross contour lines were used to define the surface of the person’s face. For the cross hatching, students chose pictures of any person they wished to draw and Used cross hatching to shade their pictures.









Studio Art: The pictures below contain pictures from the Charcoal Still Life collection. Students created a drawing of a still life using charcoal. The still life was set up in class.







Studio Art: The two paintings below are a part of the Atmospheric Perspective Landscape collection in which students created a landscape that incorporates a foreground, middleground and background. Students had the option to choose from watercolor or acrylic paint for this project. The painting had to incorporate an atmospheric perspective.

Winter Formal

At 12:15 on Friday, January 19, students rushed out of the Abcarian building halls, hoping they would have enough time to get ready for the long awaited, formal. Guys put on their best suits and the girls slipped into their best dresses, anxiously waiting to see what their friends are going to wear. Members of specific grade levels gathered earlier together to start the celebration and take lots of pictures. Soon students started rolling into the beautifully decorated hall in Metropol. The night started off with dining, along with the occasional dancing to the Armenian music being played. However, as the music got more intense, students could not get off the dance floor. The rhythmic beats of Armenian, Arabic, Spanish, and English music filled the hall and the bodies of the students. They took a quick break for some water and kebab, but quickly stood back up to continue dancing. Towards the end of the night, we celebrated Mr. McCrory’s and junior Veronica Mkhsi-Gevokian’s birthdays ...

We often hear about the Armenian Genocide and the Artsakh conflicts, but we are not always reminded of the conflicts our people face outside of the homeland. We have seen Genocide survivors and young Artsakh soldiers whose stories we have heard and are a little familiar to us. However we rarely hear from a survivor of mass discrimination and violence, who stood up with Armenians the way other survivors did- just outside the homeland. Pilibos freshmen, sophomores and juniors met one such survivor in an assembly on Tuesday February 27 when Anna Astvatsaturian Turcotte came to Pilibos to share her story and experiences. Anna Turcotte was a ten year old girl living in Azerbaijan when her mother told her she could no longer go to volleyball practice. She did not know at first, but this was just the first sacrifice out of many for the years...
