Drawing Portfolio

These are the pieces I have selected for my drawing portfolio (both breadth and concentration)

For the breadth, I tried to focus on a variety of skills as well as a variety of mediums. The majority of the works are made with at least two mediums; some of them were used to extenuate the skill demanded by the College Board.

 Oil Paint and Sawdust on Canvas

 Acrylic and Oil Paint on Canvas

 Charcoal and Spray Paint on Charcoal Paper

 Watercolor and Colored Pencil on Bristol paper

 Charcoal and Pastel Chalk on Tinted Paper

 Water-based Oil Paint Canvas

 Conte Crayon and Oil Pastel on Newsprint

 Pen and Graphite on Paper

 Scratchboard

 Intaglio Print on Printmaking Paper

 Ink and Pastel Chalk on Watercolor Paper

 Acrylic on Wood

As for my concentration, I decided to depict the indescribable emotions that human beings experience, through the aesthetics of abstract caves. Caves themselves have such a natural energy; they evolve over time only because of manipulation they are subjected to; people subject themselves to intense enjoyment, pain, and fear while changing in the process. This concentration shows changes in energy affected by life's natural course. 

The concentration looks to identify the student's ability to create a coherent idea and style while still taking risks. To make my abilities more apparent, I decided to use only oil paint and water-based oil paint and I constructed my caves with "blocks" made from Oleoimpasto, a Liquin impasto medium that is thick and fast drying. I was able to change the form of the caves and take risks now that the visuals are connected.
