LOST
Under tight deadlines and a strict schedule, our AP Art class was instructed to create 10 original pieces--in a week's time. This project was the most time consuming school related thing I've ever done. Every night i worked tirelessly on completing as least one piece, and adding it to my amounting collection. I did this every night for a week, and in the end all came out well.
The concepts that my work was based upon were in many ways original and inspired great creativity, this was new to me. I was free to do whatever I wanted as long as it in some way related back to the word I was provided with. To create my art, I utilized a variety of materials. I used: charcoal, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, pen, permanent marker, collage, etc. After I completed the project and handed it over to be graded, I looked back at what I had done and what I had learned. I learned how to manage my time, how to create good work in a short time, and how to take something simple and spin it into a complex, thought provoking images.
My portfolio has also been impacted by this project. I have, in essence, decided on either drawing/mark-making or 2D Design. I feel comfortable with my decision, and with the work I have created. But, if i were able to improve one thing, I'd improve the overall complexity of my 10 pieces. Although some were overwhelming complex and beautiful, some lacked character and maintained a drab appearance. With the addition of a bit of complexity my collection would have came to life, reached out, and tugged on your heartstrings.
Nice post James. Make sure you post your images too. Would love to be able to see the works of art you're referencing. Also you should definitely mention what your word was so people will understand what you've done and how you've interpreted the works.
