As I continued to work on my breadth exploration for my 2018 AP Art portfolio I started to try using soft chalk pastels. In the first piece depicted above titled "roots," because of the way her hair grew as an extension of her imagination, I took a more cartoonist approach using a felt pen and pastels. The artistic behaviors I used for this piece are "I create original art," "I develop art making skills," and "I take chances and risks." This was an original sketch I did just while messing around when I was listening to music that I then choose to expand upon cleaning it up with the felt marker and pens. I developed skills by exploring an unfamiliar medium with the pastels and I took chances by sketching something unlike what I typically go for.
My second work as part of my breadth exploration is the pointillism piece I am working on of my friend Margaux. While this is a technique I am familiar with I tried to develop this particular portrait more adding some solid black aspects. This will also be part of a larger piece I am working on that will be titled "split." The second half of it is a bright and colorful portrait of Margaux to show the side of her we are all familiar with juxtaposed with the more re severed side of her we never get to see. The artistic behaviors I used to create this piece were "I create original art," "I communicate through my work" and "I collaborate with" others which was done through our class critique and the use of my classmate for inspiration.
