New Beginnings

Gabriella H.
Puerto Rico

After the dandelions life cycle has come to a end, it starts spreading it’s seeds to start a new beginning and continues to grow again. It reminds me of how when we move after awhile it’s time for us to go and start a new beginning. Each new place we go helps us grow, and learn new experiences.

An Old Suitcase

As military teens, we have been through a lot of journeys. Worn but sturdy, we carry around memories from everywhere we’ve been just like a decorated suitcase.

Struggles of Deployment

Evelyn M.

"A digital canvas showing the struggle of separation between a teen girl and her deployed mother. It is often hard to find peace when you are separated by your parents in a military situation. Sometimes, you have to find peace in the small moments with your parents, because every moment is special."

Rebirth

Gabriella A.
Texas

"The drawing symbolizes how we as military kids wherever we go, we make an impact on others whether we realize it or not. We learn from a variety of new people we meet, every place we take root in helps us grow as a person."

"Each piece was inspired by Bloom itself - the message, theme, colors, etc. "Bloom where you are planted" - don't just live somewhere, plant yourself in your community and thrive. The dandelion shows us - how we can go and live anywhere, are constantly moving, and we don't only grow, but become a "beautiful flower.""

Dandelion

Amelia M.
Fort Worth, TX

"This is a 35 mm film picture that I took on my Pentax K1000. My family and I were in the middle of a PCS to Texas after my dad's orders to Italy were changed. I was still grieving not getting to go to Italy and I took this picture as a reminder to bloom where I am planted. "

Creation of Bloom

Anna V.

"This piece is exploring nature through a re-creation of the 'Creation of Adam' by Michelangelo and is part of a portfolio using a specific piece of fabric. When I fist started this piece, it unfortunately got lost when my phone stopped working, so I recreated on paper and have seen a growth in both my art and my style." (Picture taken by Art teacher).

Hold my Hand Through Life

Anna V.

"This piece is exploring the progression of life and relationships, and is apart of my portfolio of pieces using a specific piece of fabric." (Picture taken by Art teacher).
