For my senior year, I participated in the AP Drawing and Painting portfolio. I'm going to be posting some of the highlights from that portfolio.
AP art portfolios are split into the breadth, which is meant to show your technical skill in a variety of mediums and subject matters, and concentration, an exploration of a theme.
You also have to write a statement explaining the core idea of your concentration, which is below:
My concentration focuses on transformations of the human body, considering the interaction between mind and matter. As a transgender man, the capacity of the human body to change and evolve is a constant source of both hope and fear. My art communicates internal responses to physical change, highlighting the important subjective experience of transformation. I sought to empathetically capture both universal and niche aspects of the human experience in relation to inevitable physical change.
I hope you enjoy the pieces I am sharing from my portfolio. I worked very hard to make them and am proud of the growth I have had throughout.
