InThinking Process Portfolio Student Galleries by Karen Sandy

Sarvani, PP HL "Final Outcome and Reflection"

inseattle_karen — 2023-10-28 16:58:23 UTC

I was attracted to Sarvani' s very precise anatomical renderings of the arms on her self-portrait. She reflects on how she chose to add the arms but no legs because legs would mean "she was rooted to a place". She wanted to convey her idea of "no sense of home" and that the piece was successful in communicating that idea.

Joanna, PP HL "Experimenting with materials to communicate ideas"

inseattle_karen — 2023-10-29 00:14:59 UTC

Interesting to see how Joanna experiments with various mediums to try and create the effect she wants: e.g. splattering bleach on top of her ink drawings, making thumbnail sketches of a torso, sculpting with foam and with clay. She evaluates the effectiveness of each - she isn't entirely satisfied with the results nevertheless we, the viewer, can see how she's purposefully exploring in a direction.

Sunaina, PP HL "Planning & Documenting the Process"

inseattle_karen — 2023-10-29 00:26:01 UTC

In this slide, Sunaina has photographed the creation of her self portrait step by step, accompanying the images with written descriptions. From experimenting with designs to painting her background to drawing her silhouette, the candidate has meticulously recorded her thoughts on the process.

Kashish, PP SL "Artist Influence & Materials Significance"

inseattle_karen — 2023-10-29 00:37:02 UTC

Kashish effectively links her initial ideas and exploration into her new medium, embroidery, with the feminist art of Judy Chicago. Just as in the iconic artwork 'The Dinner Party', Kashish hopes to turn her own artwork into a political statement against the patriarchal culture of India.

Alina, PP SL "Concept planning and communication of ideas and intentions"

KitKate44_JEN — 2023-10-30 19:55:22 UTC

It is interesting that Alina explores the trends of knitting which inspired her to make her studio piece. Im also intrigued by how she used her analysis skills to get the design of her studio piece with color coding. Alina uses the connection between her hobby of knitting with her grandmother and the internet to connect with the situation of COVID-19. This connects to Ed Hawkin's "Warming Stripes" crochet/knitting project in which both connect to a global issue.

Sunaina, PP HL "Memories of Home"

KitKate44_JEN — 2023-10-31 19:46:00 UTC

Sunaina effectively connects her ideas of home and her heritage with Zarina's as the both have similar pasts. (soon to finish)

Christian PP SL the self and the mirror self

sn382872 — 2023-11-01 20:42:56 UTC

In this sild, Christian hac created a sild of the mirror effect and, political identity. For the mirror effect he has an artist to demonstrate his work and show the effect the mirror effect and the touch of art is add Vs the selfie effect.

The second topic discuses the compression of rich culture.

sarvai out come and reflcions

sn382872 — 2023-11-01 21:06:26 UTC

I chose this process portfolio to explore because of the mix of art that was used to create it, such as the use o yarn with the girl that was also painted with realistic features. I found the amount of details and discerption really helpful.

different views

sn382872 — 2023-11-01 21:22:04 UTC

i chose this process portfolio because the way it was made describes people. The each time you loo a this figure you will seem something different each time someone else look at this figure they will see something different, just like us someone can see you as the sweets person and someone else can see you as the rudest

Isabella Process Portfolio HL (conceptual development)

sn382872 — 2023-11-01 21:28:28 UTC

chose this process portfolio because i found it really interesting how she start the painting by shading and doing the darkest spots and worked her way out.

Marc, PP SL "New Ideas & Different Materials."

tamhua07 — 2023-11-02 02:08:12 UTC

Marc here shows us that he is trying out with a variety of materials like carboard. He tried to color the cutout with a metallic grey as to allow it to stand out. Marc states that he was not able to get a graffiti spray can so he instead used a graffiti pencil. Marc shows here that he is able to neatly show all his ideas both in writing form and visual form.

Sophie, PP HL "Concept and execution"

tamhua07 — 2023-11-02 02:24:05 UTC

Sophie explored into the idea of a protesting housewife. She wrote about how she wanted the woman to be more aggressive rather than passive like her inspiration's Louise Bourgeois' Femme Maison. She took multiple pictures until she finally landed on the one that looked like how she pictured it in her head. She manages to get her ideas across to the observer, showing the thought process behind everything.

Isabella, PP HL "Analysis and evaluation of processes"

tamhua07 — 2023-11-02 02:39:24 UTC

For this evaluation slide Isabella uses purely writing rather than any visual representation of their reflections and analysis. She speaks about how her portfolio is all in chronological order, so it shows a clear growth in her approach. Despite that there is no visual forms of ideas she still manages to get those ideas across through the writing.

Sumnima, PP HL "Critical Investigation of Lucas II & initial ideas for sculpture"

tamhua07 — 2023-11-02 02:52:09 UTC

For this slide, Sumnima takes a deep dive into the composition of Lucas II. They want to break down the work to truly see what blew them away when they first see it. The way that they break down the composition of the image fascinates me since I have never seen artworks be broken down like this.

Enrico, Process Portfolio HL "1950s Wallpaper"

zahrawaezz — 2023-11-05 06:58:52 UTC

I like this slide of Enrico's Process portfolio because it is showing that Enrico is focusing on 1950's fashion studies and how make connection between his studies and his artwork. the techniques he uses are the repeated pattern background by creating them in AI which I find it interesting and new way to create art.

Shruti, pp Exploration of processions in Indian miniature painting

zahrawaezz — 2023-11-05 14:45:35 UTC

in this slide Shruti dive into Indian miniature and make connection with her background, culture, and the past studies Shruti has learned and make a brief explanation about details, composition and their shape. Shruti also explained and reflected her own experiment that how her two studies she had done have similarities such as Japanese and Indian miniature.

Joanna, Process Portfolio HL. experimenting with plaster.

zahrawaezz — 2023-11-05 14:57:27 UTC

I believe Joanna really did great job by sharing who inspired him, explaining each steps with different methods such as using "pillow stuffing" and using plastic to fill in his sculpture. I also really appreciated that Joanna mentioned the failure he experienced in his work.

Kashish, Process Portfolio SL. Revisit, reflect, refine.

zahrawaezz — 2023-11-05 15:15:54 UTC

I absorbed this portfolio slide captivating because it includes video of his work which make it distinct than others, and it is combination of two subject art and physics to create the sculpture and Kashish also mentioned " I think I really stepped out of my comfort zone" by reflecting each steps and how hard he worked to get to the point of satisfaction of his artwork.

Joana, PP HL "Artist Influence: Conrad Atkinson"

sn410338 — 2023-11-06 17:07:11 UTC

Joana effectively connects the British artist's work to her intentions toward what she wishes to portray (more in terms of message/mood) in her artwork. She reveals that she aims to display her work as more "descriptive rather shocking" and to depict scenes of everyday life. Joana uses her critical investigation to truly capture the artist's style: why he chose that specific use of color or that perspective, the feeling he wanted his audience to feel, revealing a similarity she desires to portray in her work as well.

Elspeth, PP SL "Exploration of Textiles: Finished Product"

sn410338 — 2023-11-06 17:21:25 UTC

In this slide, Elspeth exceptionally ensured that she brought her audience along every step of her process, while thoroughly explaining each step, and the result of it while also integrating historical context and revealing where she gained some of her inspiration from. I was attracted to Elspeth's choice to go beyond the "traditional" form of art such as painting, sculptures, or digital images, and choose to do something in clothing, it further displayed her talents and creativity.

Shruti, PP HL "Exploration of the basics of photorealistic portraits"

sn410338 — 2023-11-06 18:21:31 UTC

It was interesting to see how Shruti explores different values and techniques while also explaining what went wrong, or how he changed different charcoal materials, where he switched from pencils to powder for the basis of his portraits. He goes into depth about the critical changes of "the slightest manipulation of the nose or eye" that gave rise to a completely new portrait."

Kashish, PP HL "Revist + Reflect + Refine"

sn410338 — 2023-11-06 20:38:47 UTC

I was attracted to the organization of the portfolio, specifically in the way it flows. The audience does not have to be searching for anything but rather everything is well placed alongside its corresponding images. Their reflection was thorough, where they went through their challenges, what they learned, and the message they portrayed. I also found it interesting how he involved science in his project, it was surprising that they consulted their physics teacher to gain advice about how they should've approached their work.

Regina, Process Portfolio HL

2023-11-07 00:35:03 UTC

Regina found it interesting the way artists were able to trick the human brain as well as the eye, using pointallism. She experimented with various sizes of ink as well as color which if you mixed many dots with a primary color gave out a secondary color that would have to the shadows and the way the dots and chape come out to look. the inspiration picture.

Heidy A

Regina, Process Portfolio HL

2023-11-07 00:53:26 UTC

In this slide, Regina did her best to show the hidden, indigenous peoples, women being the less valued gender, as well as the approval of society. With the help of acrylics, watercolors, charcoal, and pencil she was able to exaggerate the features of the indigenous women as shown above.

Regina, Process Portfolio HL

2023-11-07 00:58:23 UTC

Regina like many other artist have their weak point nevertheless she was able to practice with this technique using half of the inspiration picture to be able know and figure what she had to look for. Which is very clever.

Regina, Process Portfolio HL

2023-11-07 01:35:51 UTC

When we think of the color yellow we often think of happy or summer. Regina used the same technique with this piece she used colors that represent or are known to represent emotions or ideas. In this slide, she wanted to show kids that starve around the world she used the figure of a baby from a photographer we went around the world to capture kids in providers who don't have many resources. Allowing the viewer to make quick sense of the artwork.

Isabella, PP HL "Compositional Development and Painting Process"

connorlavelle286_ — 2023-11-09 02:09:32 UTC

This slide caught my eye at first because of the artwork that the artist was documenting the creation process of, and then I grew more interested as I read how the artist came to their final composition, and some of the concepts behind it. Here Isabella, who had visited Tokyo and taken some pictures while on the subway at one point, once she learned of the toxic work culture, and deep social anxiety and isolation there was in the society, became inspired to make a piece which captured that issue. Using one of the pictures she took while visiting the nation, we see how she changes the composition and its elements to her liking in the process of making the studio work, wanting to better capture the message she was trying to display. We see her thematic and compositional ideas develop throughout the slide, and the documentation of the creation of the final piece is shown at the bottom of the slide.

Enrico, PP HL "The Last Supper"

connorlavelle286_ — 2023-11-09 02:29:08 UTC

In this slide, we see Enrico explain both the historical inspiration, and development behind their final studio work, which is a video of a housewife preparing their husbands "last supper" which is drenched in cleaning fluids. We see in a textbox in the bottom left of the slide of the artist explaining the background and purpose behind the artwork, and throughout the rest of the slide we see the authors own hand written notes on the two pieces which inspired their own creation the most, as well as snippets of their thumbnails, and of the development of the final piece.

The piece tells the story of many disgruntled housewives and dismissed women in the pre-feminist era, who were delegated to house keepers, and the artists piece shows the revenge of those feelings through its images.

Joanna, PP HL "Developing ideas through purposeful exploration"

momomonet — 2023-11-13 10:01:39 UTC

Joanna in this slide uses a very explicit style or art. She is showing her idea of a morbid style of art using pictures of her nude then recreating it in a sort of abstract painting by using very organic shapes that do not show the subject directly. She uses many layers to the paint and creates tones and texture.

SS, PP HL "Artist Connection"

momomonet — 2023-11-13 10:15:13 UTC

In this slide, SS uses an elaborate artist connection in terms of the overall look and medium of the art. SS uses the art piece "The Birth of Venus" painted in the mid 1480s by Sandro Botticelli. SS uses the character Venus's pose and overall look in her art as well as using oil as the medium.

ZA, PP HL "Idea Development"

momomonet — 2023-11-13 10:27:00 UTC

In this slide, ZA introduces an idea based off of the "City of the Dead" in a government lacking city in the middle of Gaza. ZA does a great way of explaining how this topic connects to the way ZA's art medium (the abstract triangles) portray to the art. ZA uses unity because of an experience with the townspeople of how close they are using these triangles as a direct contrast to that message.

Nicoletta, PP HL "Experimentation of Medium with Reflection"

momomonet — 2023-11-13 10:47:21 UTC

Nicoletta experiments by using a photography medium then turning it into an edited piece in a truly fascinating way. She uses the theme of "Religious trauma" that unfortunately is a global issue. She reflects that she attempted many ways to keep the cloudy, stained texture of the pill on her tongue to show religion can poison you. Yet, she faced trials and errors yet worked around and came out with the final piece. Truly inspiring.

Sunaina, PP HL "Evaluation of Final Artwork"

Harman_Carlos — 2024-01-28 22:53:53 UTC

Sunaina initially writes more about Criterion A, talking about the formal elements of her artwork. She also lists her personal preferences about said elements. It's only until the bottom right half that she actually reflects on what she could've done better, describing how she could've handled the lighting better. What I learned from this slide was that the specific slide shouldn't be restricted to a specific criterion, a slide would often blend with elements of the other criteria, and that I shouldn't feel so pressured to solely write about one.

Sunaina, PP HL "Inspiration for sculpture "Overflowing Attachments""

Harman_Carlos — 2024-01-28 23:06:38 UTC

I chose this because it's very well formatted, with Sunaina elaborating on her inspiration before leading to her experimentations with the medium of said inspiration. However, I learned that inspiration isn't only taken from formal elements, but it can also be thematic like the topic of migration Sunaina chose to portray. Instead of inventing this new way to represent her shared issue, she took inspiration from "Houseball" by Claes Oldenburg.

Regina, PP HL, "Focus on Portraits"

sn367645 — 2024-01-31 08:56:58 UTC

What initially drew me to this slide was its formatting, especially as it could inform the way in which I decide to go about formatting my own power point slides. However, I discovered upon exploring more of Regina's process portfolio slides and artworks that both as far as theme and "technique", or rather, interest in "technique" goes we are much more similar than I thought we'd be. Regina mentions within the slide I screenshot above, that her experimentation with photorealistic drawing is an attempt to develop her theme of "hidden cultures in Mexico," which I found interesting insofar as a large portion of my body of work concerns an exploration of culture as well. Regina also states that she decided to focus on women as part of theme because "they are the gender less valued and most hidden from our eyes," which is another thematic preoccupation we share as well, considering I'd like to examine femininity from several different angles - primarily the concept of 'girlhood' and 'cultural beauty standards' within my own photography as well.

Sofia F, PP HL, "Planning Piece"

sn367645 — 2024-01-31 09:24:01 UTC

The repetition of circles within this process portfolio is what initially drew me to it, however, upon skimming the slide itself, I found myself astonished with the scope and breadth of Sofia's "exploration". The slide can, on first glance, seemed disconnected and scattershot, but the connection of ideas via "circles", but the way in which Sofia employs their circuitous symbolism to examine themes surrounding the "circularity of history" was nothing short, in my opinion, of fascinating. I was also quite surprised by the diverse range of mediums she was able to experiment with and analyze the processes of within this slide alone.
