My favorites

These three are a few of my favorites from this year!

Dear Future AP Art student,
AP art is a lot of fun but also a lot of hard work. When picking a concentration make sure it's something you can work with and improve the whole year. Don't be vague to other people about what your concentration is or they won't understand what you are doing like me. Don't wait until the night before to create a piece. You may think you create your best work under pressure but it is really stressful. Don't skip a bunch of art classes, if you don't think it's important enough to come then don't be in AP art. AP art isn't all stressful, you get to have parties, go on an art retreat and have an awesome showcase which is super fun! Good luck next year!

Concentration Update

My concentration focuses on layer by covering up and revealing things to get the outcome that I want. I also incorporate drawings in ink that I think add more character to my pieces and make them more interesting too look at. I was watching this documentary on Beyonce today and she said something like art doesn't always have to mean something it is something that just comes from your heart and is something that you love. That's not exactly what she said but i liked it and that's kinda how i feel about my concentration. I have a hard time telling people what it is that I'm doing but I really love what I'm am doing with art this year and it makes me happy.

This piece is my most current piece. I think it feels different than my other ones but not necessarily in a bad way. I don't think I'm completely finished with it yet and I think I'm going to change the color of the orange diamond because I don't like it very much it's feels clashy. This piece just needs some work. I'm getting into incorporating a darker background though because I like the contrast. Sorry the quality is bad the lighting in my room is horrible and it was taken on a phone.
