I did this piece using photo shop. I took pictures of Hannah first then I edited them in photo shop. I then created the background and took pictures of it and applied it to the first pictures. Overall I am very happy with the way this piece turned out!

This piece was done in watercolor. i took the image for a magazine and used carbon paper to trace it on the paper. I then added watercolor to create shades and designs!
This piece was done using textured and acrylic paint, pennies and string. Overall I like how it turned out!

I did this piece using India ink and charcoal. I really like how this piece turned out and i got it done in about two days.

This piece was done with acrylic and textured paint. The "bow tie" is canvas in watered down glue which make sit hard when it dries. I didn't really like how this piece turned out.

This is the first piece I have done for my concentration. I think it was a big success. It was a long process using wire and textured paint. This is my best piece I have done this year!
This piece is done in watercolor and has a little bit of charcoal on it. I did this as a still life. I used browns because they are neutral and blend well with other shades of brown. Overall I think the piece was a success.

This is the piece I did for the foreshortening project. It is done in acrylic paint. I originally wanted to do a more complicated background but I ran out of time and did a larger, more simple one. I really liked how this turned out.

This piece was done in charcoal. I haven't really worked in charcoal befor so I think the piece turned out fairly well. I added the blue high lights to make the piece more intresting.I like how this one turned out.

Papercuts


This is the piece that I did for the paper cutout project. I really do not like how this turned out. This project did not interest me. I think the piece looks too busy.

Encaustic


This is my encaustic piece. The encaustic process was new for me, but overall I enjoyed experimenting with it. When I first started with the project I thought I was going to have a problem with the mirriors looking like they belonged. I resolved the problem by melting the wax arounf the border of the mirrors. I think it worked. I tried to make this piece as shiny as possible so I used the mirrors and aluminum foil. I also put shiny beads into the wax. I really liked how this piece turned out, but it I were to do this project again I would have redone the image transferrs.

Analytical Cubism


This is the piece that I did was for the cubism project. This is an example of analytical cubism. This was this was the first I have done in pencil in a longg time, but I think it turned out fairly well. This piece is 8x10

Synthetic Cubism

This is my piece for the cubism project. This piece is an example of synthetic cubism. I really like the color scheme that I used. I decided to use a peacock feather because I think they look fancy. I really like how this piece turned out. There is nothing I would change.

I did this piece for the after dinner prompt. I think it turned out really good. The lighter parts on the picture are words that spell out what type of vegetable it is.

This is my 3rd piece I have done this summer for ap art. The medium that I chose was oil pastel. I liked how the top part turned out but the bottom looks kinda weird.I liked using the oil pastels because I could blend the colors well. Over all I like the picture.

These are my two hands that I drew for AP art. The medium that I chose was pencil. I like how both hands turned out but I like the one on with the sunglasses better. I think it looks more realistic. I think I need to work on drawing the portions of the fingers and palms more and maybe working on my shading. But over all I think they turn out well considering I haven't drawn in a year, because everything I did in Art 3 was abstract.
