This mixed media piece called “National Geographic” was created by Lily Stutzin, a 15-year-old sophomore at Carlmont High School. While she completed this piece for her BTI World History class, this art symbolizes her motivation to create beautiful art. Stutzin drew her inspiration from her history teacher, Connor Fenech, and Pinterest. She wanted to create a more realistic piece, which she accomplished by focusing on the color aspect, thus the five-hour-long production. Armed with a pencil, some paper, a camera, an iPad, and an apple pen, Stutzin completed the piece. The meaning of her piece revolves around the ancient city of Sparta with drawings of ancient deities, Artemis and Ares. Stutzin chose these figures as they were the patron gods of the city-state of Sparta.
