This piece is about women empowerment. Throughout time, women have been interpreted as mere objects rather than human beings who are capable of withholding an immense amount of strength. This piece shows that women are much more than they are sometimes made out to be. I enjoyed doing a diverse group of girls for this piece because it allowed me to experiment with different skin tones and hair colors.
These are some old drawings I did from back when I was in....middle school I think??? I loved being creative with my drawings and having so much color involved in every piece. It's so fun to look back on what I enjoyed drawing back then compared to the work I do now.
So last week I was able to see the progress of my classmates and even my own along this journey towards the AP exam. There was a piece of paper where we wrote our concentration idea and where we had the opportunity to ask anyone for any suggestions or ideas. We all went around the classroom and scored each other based off of what we think that person would score on the actual exam. We also left some constructive criticism, ideas and nice comments! I think this was a great reminder to let us know that we're all going through this together haha. I loved seeing everyones work and leaving comments and feeling like I could help! I obviously have work to do and room to grow bigger ideas but I'm happy with the progress I've made this far!
So this is my 6th concentration! I decided to do a self portrait. I used chalk pastel for this piece and through my ap art journey, I've realized that I love chalk pastel and the results! I'm trying to experiment using more color in the hair and skin tones! Still tons of room for improvement but I hope to get better with every piece.
