I think I said I'd post my AP Art portfolio once I got it back...
Some of these aren't really for the portfolio, but things I did in class or on my own time for other things, but I've never posted them. I numbered them, so if you'd like to see a bigger version of this please tell me 'cause I don't feel like posting all these..'orz
1. Digital pic for an audition...I don't remember if it was in my portfolio or not. Done completely on photoshop. I just wanted to play around with photoshop and show off what I knew how to do...XD
2. Very first thing we did in art class. I don't particularly like it that much...O.o; But I do like the colours...*shrugs*
3. This was just a scrap piece of paper I was using to practice watercolours and I thought it looked kinda cool...XD
4. Self-portrait. Since I did think with only ink the proportions are off a ton and it looks weird...also I was inspired by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu to do really weird poses and expressions so that's what this is. It's a happy sad expression...? (Kyary Pamyu Pamyu influences me too much)
5. This was an assignment where we had to do make it have something to do with nature and use this charcoal technique on cardboard. I really really love this artwork, but nobody else seems to like it...It encompasses all of nature in my eyes.
6. Everybody in my class thought this was a self portrait! Hah! XD No wayyy...though I sorta have that hairstyle now...sooo...maybe it is? This was supposed to be a shibuya kei inspired girl. It was for some assignment I completely failed at, but it was my first try at watercolours and it turned out really well so it's actually one of my better pieces just because of the face...but the rest of it is complete crap (so I cut the rest off)
7. Inspired by a pic of Alan Dawa Dolma looking into a mirror...I did a lot of these cut out pics...none of them looked that good, I just wanted to get them outta my system. I've also learned that glue is not invisible and it leaves lots of ugly marks behind.
8. This was a charcoal and gesso pic that I did from a sample pic that our teacher gave us. I can't believe I used this in my portfolio...I usually don't count things drawn from pictures as actual pieces...'orz Trying to have some contrast...that's all I was doing.
9. Well this is drawn from a picture, but it's my own picture. The result of my blood and tears working late at night to get an A 'cause I painted this with acrylics before and it looked like crap. This one is done in oil pastel. I learned a lot from trying to make this picture look good. I really liked my photograph, but I think I was wayyy too ambitious to try and draw it.
10. Another pic with oil pastels. Just playing around. I like this one 'cause it reminds me of El Paso...and those...Oh, I don't know what you call them desert spirits that play woodwind instruments?
11. An etching. It's really light 'caaauuusseee I'm very very weak...;m;
12. Another contour drawing like number 2. I don't really like it...O.o; But it's sorta what my teacher was wanting so I go with it.
13. This is another oil pastel pic, except I put ink over it to make a weird effect. This was drawn from a photograph I took of light reflecting onto a wall. The pic is really cool looking, but not particularly...photographic, I guess?
14. Just a random pic I did for an art audition since I needed 9 pics...Not exactly fond of this, but it has an explanation behind it...>3>
15. This was for an art audition thingy. I had to do a still life, which I hate (except those white still lifes...they're so pretty). So I decided to do it of a bunch of objects that are from different countries and some with I just love looking at. Done in watercolours. The entire time I was doing this my mom kept telling me that it's not going to come out right the way I was doing it, and she left and came back and was like 'Oh...um...wow, that's pretty good, nevermind what I was saying before'. Yeah, yeah. Just because I don't do it the way you do doesn't mean it's wrong.
16. We had to use a CD for our art assignment...break it up or melt it or whatever. Since I like puzzles I couldn't help but break it and put it back together...XD
17. Another self portrait (from looking in mirror) in inks and charcoal with some paper. I don't remember the idea exactly, but just that I wanted it to look like I was paper and the bullet is shooting through my face and my face is turning into paper. Something like that? It has more symbolism and stuffs, but I don't remember what they were...'orz
18. My most popular piece. My teacher is in love with this. I original was just going to draw all the grains of the paper, except for the space that says paper, but then I started colouring it and it ended up like this. Yepppp.
My concentration is somewhere...>3> It's not very good.
