So Whatever  12.  My Concentration: The central theme of my work is fish. I used fish to create emotion and personality. The color plays a large role in developing the mood. I often utilized complementary colors (blue and orange) for a bold statement. The movement of the light in the water and the loose flow of the fish accomplishes my style. My style changes slightly to be appropriate for the media used. I have used acrylic paints to smoothly blend colors and used watercolor paints to create sharper edges or a more definite shape. The personality of the fish reflects the smooth or precise technique. Depth plays into the content of several pieces enhancing the overall quality. Either observational or imaginative, each fish has originality. Other cultures and artists have used fish within their art. The study of these culturals play into the selection of the type of fish for several of my pieces. The mood of international cultures also affects the mood of the fish.  __Triumphant Tree__ <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">18x24 <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">watercolor and acrylic <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">__Storm__ <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">12x14 <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">watercolor and acrylic <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">__So Whatever__ <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">9x12 <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">watercolor and acrylic <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">__Shoe Collection__ <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">photograghy <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">__Oriental Expression__ <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">21x31 <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">watercolor and acrylic <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">__Tree of Blossoms__ <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">18x24 <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">watercolor and acrylic

Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes to make it possible. -T.E.

__ Advise for Future AP Art Students: __ Work hard all year long. Do not just complete art assignments just to get them done; Make them quality! If you are interested in taking the AP exam, start producing work that you are happy with from day one. Remember the requirements for AP and aim to get them done throughout the year. (Twelve breadth and twelve concentration pieces. That's 24 total!) You do not want to stay up late doing art last minute instead of studying for every other test you will have! AP week is stressful so do as much in art before hand as you can. Take good pictures of your art then edit them and name them "concentration1, concentration2, etc" or "breadth1, breadth2, etc." Make a separate folder on your computer for each year in high school and save all of your art pieces to the corresponding year. This will make life a lot less stressful during the month of May when you are trying to put together your AP website!
