AP Art Drawing Porfolio Score 5

This is my AP Art Drawing Portfolio that I submitted for my 2010-2011 senior year of high school. I scored a 5:)

My Concentration:

My initial idea was to focus on the ways detailed lines and values shaped unique replicas of the human form. As I began, I tried to catch every detail, striving for realism; as can be seen in the first drawings. With a conservative method, I used my skills in black and white sketch to show texture and bring out detail. For example, I tried to highlight the movement found in the wrinkles of my feet (slide 4). In slide 2, I used an eraser to give the drawing greater depth and dominance. Charcoal worked well for me in showing unity and giving my drawings harmony (slide 1). After these first drawings, I decided that using merely black and white could not bring about what I was trying to convey. I began to experiment with color. First, I used conservative colors, like skin tone, but then I found that I was more successful at achieving the effect I wanted by blending in different colors like yellow, orange, and red. This style gave the drawings more variety and a livelier contrast (slides 5-8). Then I began to incorporate more abstract colors, like blue and purple as I drew to show the human form in a less natural way (slides 9, 11). After using in these ways, my drawings became more abstract. Color became more prominent and details became less focused (slide 12).

are these mostly from life or photographs that you took and then drew

[MsNohemi2011]

@Lsasuke4 Some are from direct observation, but most are from photographs that I took and then drew.

I am currently doing a degree in photography at an art school and I wish I could draw half as good as this....not sure if I should say you are in the wrong profession but with this talent you have a viable alternative.

[MsNohemi2011]

@RealJam52 lol Yeah, I get that a lot. I honestly just believe it would be easier to find a job with a Nursing degree, rather than in the competitive industry of art.

[SGarv04]

[gamecock712]

Awesome! the one of your feet is purely amazing. i am currently taking AP art and it's nice to know im not the only one who likes to work with charcoal.

[MsNohemi2011]

@neptuniumforest No, but everyone expected me to. I am actually a Nursing Major! My AP Art teacher wanted to kill me when she found out that I was going to college for nursing. lol
