 * For my portfolio I thought I would draw portraits of people because I think humans are the most interesting mammals on this planet. The reason for this is that each individual is fascinating because of their different personality and their face is unique. When people view my artwork, I hope for them to notice that it doesn’t matter how an individual looks, but because how each and every one of them is humans. I also hope for them to be surprised of how I’ve progressed from my first piece to my last. I think I’ve improved a lot on my art throughout high school. My weakness was finding my shadows, lights and dark, and always thinking my art work wasn’t good enough. Now that I’ve lifted myself up and learned from my mistakes, I’ve improved all the basic areas in art. All of my art pieces are different and similar. They all have faces, but it’s all of different people. My favorite piece I have achieved is “My Friend, Jenna Bailey”. It’s my specialist piece because Jenna Bailey has been my dearest friend since I’ve been in America. And she and I are so much alike that we’re counted as an individual. I’ve learned that each piece of art in an artist’s portfolio all have to have a similar meaning of their style and method of work. Art to me is magical because it sends messages without saying it verbally, it expresses how one feels, and for some individuals it’s an escape from the real world. Art claims me down and the best, is that when I draw I don’t have to think too hard of what I’m going to draw. I can just relax and let my hands do the thinking. The best tool anyone can have is their hands. I think our hands are one of the powerful tools we have, because there is so much a person can create, and let their inner thoughts and feelings escape. Earth cannot be spelled without art.
