Ap Studio Art: DRAWING PORTFOLIO 


Concentration: (update Ally Fobes

What is the central idea of your concentration?
My concentration consists of an exploration on how the combination of color and texture convey the truest form of a person. In each piece, different techniques such as scumbling and the smearing of oil pastels are used to depict the personality of the subject. Each subject in my work was a close friend who I photographed myself. The varied techniques and color choices allowed me to share relationships and emotions that I share with the subjects.
How does the work in your concentration demonstrate the exploration of your idea? You may refer to specific images as examples.
​In every painting, the colors and textures changed based on how I perceived that specific person. In my first piece, Zach
, the colors were chosen because I know how empathetic and sensitive Zach is; what color would suit his demeanor better than a pale pink? In pieces that consisted of multiple people, like pieces seven and twelve, the colors that were chosen still represented their relationships- with me, eachother, and themselves-but also, the colors had to play off of each other to emphasize why they were important to the depiction of the subject. As I began using oil pastels, a texture was added that still had the appearance of my earliest paintings but they also gave a new texture that spoke for the different emotions that were being felt as the concentration matured. Throughout the first half of my concentration, I struggled with correctly depicting the subjects while still using an interesting texture. All of my pieces were a constant battle between the dominance of texture and color. In the final three pieces of concentration, I finally found how to display texture and have it complement the colors. The backgrounds made with acrylic paint and model paste relayed a demure complement to the main subject that offered the texture that I craved in my pieces.
