As I go into AP Art next year, I hope to expand my horizons to all kinds of new opportunities. I hope to become more comfortable with a wider variety of materials and subject matter, and aside from Drawing & Painting, I hope to continue my photography career. I hope to continue with art shows and expand my skills next year and beyond high school as well. I think I will try to paint more with oil and create larger pieces as well. I really enjoy textured pieces with oil paints, and i hope to practice with that and do it again. Yuppo paper was also interesting to work with, and I would benefit from more variety in paper/bases. Overall, I completed a lot and learned a lot this year, and I hope to continue this gradual climb towards improving my artistic skills.

With this project I decided to branch myself out by using much larger paper than I normally do. I always tend to aim smaller, so with this piece I used a large piece of craft paper. I have also been meaning to use oil pastels since I do enjoy them and I needed the practice, so that became the material I used. I think the project went fairly well but if I could go back I might alter the face and spend more time on it.

This was another example of stretching out of my comfort zone with acrylics on Yuppo paper, which I have never used. The technique I used for the background was also a brand new experience (and not just for me!) I followed an example of 'drip acrylics/painting' and some of my own brainstorming and a palette knife to get various textures and interesting stains. After completing both sheets, I switched the color palettes to complete the foreground. I never ended up finishing the piece on the right (I may come back to it another day) but for the most part I am satisfied with the one on the left.

This piece is my favorite due to how inspiring it was to paint straight from my photography. I love the outcome, especially considering how I decided to stretch outside of my usual comfort zone for this piece. I decided to use a similar idea to the painting on the left by using only primary colors. I also made this piece textured and slightly abstract with the speckles being "rust".

This was my first time using oil paints and I definitely enjoyed it  (hence my next independent project to the right, where I used oil paints again). I really liked the idea of only using complimentary colors as well, and the challenge of mixing a wider variety of colors rather than using colors straight from the tube. This project, although the outcome isn't my favorite, was one of the most fun to complete. If I could go back and alter something, I would repaint/redo the telephone.

SURREALIST ART PIECE + SKETCHES

This is an example of synesthesia, the mixing of the senses. My goal for this project was to intentionally have a very busy composition while still appearing somewhat visually orderly (I want the viewer to have lots to view so I can effectively communicate my idea but also not feel too overwhelmed). This piece was highly influenced by the song Synesthesia by Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. The song discusses the feelings he experiences from a girl, and how every time she speaks he sees colors and hears music. The song is very upbeat and one of my favorites, and I'm glad I got to portray my own visual interpretation of it (or one of my interpretations, at least).
