Tilok Costa<br />
Grade: 11<br />
School: William Cullen<br />
Bryant High<br />
School, Queens<br />
<strong>Art</strong> Teacher: Barbara Frohman<br />
Pen on paper<br />
STUDENT: <strong>Art</strong> makes me<br />
think in ways I never<br />
thought before. It changes<br />
the way I interpret<br />
my surroundings and<br />
gives me the freedom<br />
to think differently.<br />
This is due partly to<br />
my teacher who helped<br />
me look at art from<br />
different perspectives.<br />
She exposed me to<br />
different art forms and<br />
art media that I didn’t<br />
know about. For this<br />
piece she showed me<br />
the painting of Salvador Dalí’s dead<br />
brother and various paintings by<br />
Chuck Close. They inspired me. This<br />
artwork challenged me from the very<br />
beginning because inspired by Dalí’s<br />
painting, I chose to work with dots.<br />
TEACHER: Tilok arrived from Bangladesh<br />
just this year. He is a young man with<br />
extraordinary talent. In his beautifully<br />
executed Resolutions you can see<br />
the influence of both Dalí and Close.<br />
He worked slowly and meticulously<br />
on the smallest grid I have ever seen,<br />
creating the image with pencil and<br />
then with pen. Tilok’s hard work<br />
culminated in this wonderful piece<br />
with its strange optical effect.<br />
