AP Art & Design

I think that out of every year I have done art in high school, I can easily say that I am the most proud of all of the work I have created as a part of my AP portfolio this year. Not only have the pieces I have created given me creative liberty to branch out with my media type, subject matter, etc, I have also learned so much through my research. It has felt so different to me than a normal history class in that not only have I learned the historical context of the stories of these women, but I have truly felt connected to their stories through the art I have created. To create art that portrayed these women and their stories was to understand them, and the circumstances under which they made their decisions. Not only this, but I was able to get a very good understanding of the art periods of the time, which I had never really done before this year, giving me a new appreciation for history and how different events truly impact every part of reality, especially art. Overall, I am incredibly proud of all of the work I have put into this year and all of my work, and I am sad to see it go!
