2018 AP Studio Portfolio

2018 AP Studio Portfolio

Breadth 1 - Truth in Finding

I did this piece during GHP in an experimental class focusing on abstract acrylic painting. It is experimental so some parts are pretty unsuccessful, but I appreciate the thought.

Breadth 2 -Chairs in Form

Another experimental GHP piece focusing on still lifes. I plan on going back in and covering the ugly parts with more paper and drawing on top of it some more. I like the layered look that it gives it.

Breadth 3 - We Love

Did this piece this year after finding inspiration in doing tight detailed pen work. I plan on going over the top of the flowers with watercolor to make them look less flat and more fun. Not sure if I want to make the watercolor super realistic or more abstract, though.

Concentration 1 - Drip Drip

Edited this portrait of Julliete I did last year to hide the fact that I made the head 3x too big. Thinking of adding more reflective paper over top to hide more flaws ;)

Concentration2 - #theearthrulez

Portrait of my sister with literally another ginormous forehead. Again, planning on adding sheets of paper on top to make it look more artistic and less ugly!!

Concentration 3 - Tommy

I like the way this one turned out overall. Not sure if I want to add words to tie it in with the portfolio or not.

concentration 4 - Rayan Heartache

Planning on adding some very light circular lines behind his head to hide my mistakes and also add another element that will focus the image in on his face and the heart more. This piece has potential.

2018-2019 Concentration Statement

For my concentration this year, I want to delve deeper into human emotion and figure. I want to explore words in terms of imagery and emotion. I want to base artwork around a passage or a set of words and incorporate them into the artwork somehow. This way, I am not limited to just doing portraits, but able to open up and do more. Depending on the passage or set of words, I can dive into a bunch of different topics or subjects.
