Concentration

Breadth

Good and bad work

Yay! First official concentration piece (I think I will work on it some more tho.)

Sketchbook page (the new small one, to get me out of my big one)

Last big sketchbook page:( But the start of a concentration:):):)

This is an old piece, I just never posted it. Probably because I hated it and never finished it.

And I have already destroyed it.

This goes from most recent at top to oldest at bottom. I'm just sooooo happy I am out of my funk and I am so ready to start my concentration!

Concentration Statement

My concentration is focused on breaking free from the constraints of the educational system. For the majority of my time in grade school, I was entirely focused on taking the hardest

classes and standing out in my grade. I was so focused on being the top in my academics that my life was consumed by this unhealthy obsession that revolved solely around my schoolwork. I

began having unrealistic expectations of what I could accomplish and I would stress to the point of making myself literally sick. When I started to take art seriously, I realized that I had gotten

so caught up on getting good grades that I had lost a sense of my own identity. My pieces are representational of me breaking free from the expectations of school and society in order to

discover my true self.

Long time no see!

Hey guys, sorry its been a while. I guess I took a little hiatus from my blog (and just my art in general) but by not focusing on my stuff for a while has given me new focus. I am working on a new BIG piece, and it is going to be the start of my new and awesome concentration!!!! the real deal. I think I will be especially inspired with finals and stuff coming up too.

I have been looking at some artists, and a few that I have been looking at lately are Zhou Fan (he is this contemporary chinese artist, and his stuff is AWESOME!) and Hope Gangloff (she works some in ACRYLIC! and pen)

And I will soon have up my concentration statement.

And I am sorry I haven't posted pics lately, I haven't really done anything, been busy working on a float for the Johns Creek Founder's parade and organizing for National Portfolio Day (which went well:)
