Project statement: This past school year I submitted to the AP College Board in the 2D Art & Design Class. I was proud of the portfolio I had created because I felt that it clearly expressed the feelings and emotions of my junior year of high school. This year is notorious for being the most difficult and challenging time during high school. Between school, grades, family, sports, hobbies, nature, and service, there is very little time for rest. I am now able to recognize the impact that this busyness has on us as people. As a way to combat these feelings and worries, I strive to fill my art with happiness. One observation I had this school year is that we are kindest and most ourselves when we are at rest. In this portfolio, I explored the idea of freedom from chaos - peace - by answering "How can I illustrate the feelings and emotions that come from a state of peace and serenity in relation to my childhood, relationships, and experiences?".
