Ever since moving from California all the way to Texas due to my dad's work, technology has enabled me to keep in touch with my old friends. Being able to talk with them like I used to, even though I'm over 1000 miles away, means a lot to me, and so I drew a superhero who is empowered by the technology around her. I drew a few examples of the ways I've used technology during the pandemic, like messaging people and drawing on my tablet. My artwork is meant to represent how, even though technology comes in such a small package, it can have a large impact on the people who use it, and empower people to reach limits they previously couldn't. Third Place Award: $100 Award Name Isabelle Call Submission Number 30 School Name Canyon Vista Middle School Age of Artist 11 Method Procreate on iPad and Apple Pencil Subjectmatter We can all be connected and stay in touch with everyone in our lives with technology.
