AP Studio : January 2016

Concentration Statement

My concentration is focused around my younger sister (she is two) and family. I wanted to revolve my concentration around how my sister sees the world as well as the connections she forms with in our family. I am very interested in how a toddler's mind takes everything in so quickly and analyzes every detail in order to learn. My artwork aims to give the viewer a preview of what it is like to live in the world as a two year old.

Growth Statement

Through out this process I have grown very much as an artist in both my skill and thought process. Am now able to brainstorm ideas that are more unique and this class has helped me build up my technical skills, especially with painting. I have also learned a lot about time management and responsibility. You needed to follow a timeline during this class in order not to fall so far behind.
