2022 AP Art Portfolio
This senior year portfolio received a 5 on the AP art "exam." My goal for this project was to explore the idea of "perspective" and what this can mean through art. I began by creating art pieces mainly with acrylic paint, but branched out to other mediums, such as oil pastels, graphite, and mixed media. The question that guided me was "How can I use unique perspectives to communicate a story to the viewer?" In some works I portray the viewer as the subject, using the art piece as a looking glass. In others I took a more metaphorical approach and explored expressing the subject's emotion.

This acrylic painting explores how looking through a marble distorts your view of the world, and how this can be similar to how everyone's perspective will be different from each other.
