A PLEASANT SURPRISE
This was a breadth piece in my AP studio art portfolio. It is a still life of a flower bouquet. I assembled them on my wooden kitchen table at home and went to town creating different lines. Flowers can always brighten my day. These flowers were from my Birthday.
My media was pen and ink.

DOGS OF WAR
This was an assignment for my set of 12 concentration pieces in my AP portfolio. Here, two African wild dogs sit hunched over a muddy puddle. The dogs represent the strife and war terrorizing a beautiful continent.

OVER THE OIL SPILL RAINBOW
This was an assignment for my set of 12 concentration pieces in my AP studio art portfolio. A narwhal lies helplessly in water contaminated with oil, whilst a ship is nearby creating more chaos for the creature- disrupting its environment. Ironically, there is a rainbow. Many people think narwhals are as magical as unicorns. Again, these animals are endangered and face many threats.

FLEETING FOREST
This was a breadth piece in my AP studio art portfolio. I mixed tons of colors and tried to incorporate both bright and more mysterious hues such as chartreuse. I made the right side of the rain forest dreary and dark to resemble the growing rate of destruction, diminishing loss of important resources, and loss of habitat. There are tree stumps and withering branches scattered about. On the other side, there is still some beauty and happiness clinging to life.

MINIMAULED
I was reflecting upon the fact that so many shopping malls and buildings have taken over, and are continuing to take over land. Humanity is paving over the homes of wildlife. The beaver has a worried expression, holding its paws up to its face. The duck is resigned. In the distance, a turtle is without his home.

MORPHED MADAME
For this piece, I was assigned in my drawing class to create a grid drawing based on a picture we found interesting. I chose a model from a magazine. I changed the proportions of her body by making her head larger and her body drastically smaller. She looks bizarre, moody, unnatural, and grotesque.
My media was graphite on paper.

FROGGY ENJOYS THE SETTING SUN
I created this piece for fun, based off of multiple photos I took out and about in nature. I had one photo I took of a small frog, one of a deep blue sunset, and another of a hibiscus flower. I compiled all these images to create one whole scene.

BARREN BARN
In my photography class, I was assigned to take a series of photos with similar color schemes. I chose dark sepia. I felt that the sepia made the barn look very aged, as though it was not taken now but back in the olden days. The barn was out in an open field so close to the road that I pulled over and had to take a couple shots.
My media was inkjet print.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
This was an assignment for my set of 12 concentration pieces in my AP studio art portfolio. It is commenting on the growing issue of pollution, specifically in our air. Pollution affects the entire earth- not just humans but animals as well.

HELP
This was an assignment for my set of 12 concentration pieces in my AP portfolio, and it is honestly one of my favorites. The four animals are depicted with hair and letters in their mouths that spell out "HELP." At first glance, the image probably looks like nonsense. Yet, I based this off the Beatles hit song "Help," because all of these animals are endangered and could use some help. (Hence, the Beatles hairdos.) It's definitely playful with a more serious underlying message.
