Summer Homework

 Dear viewers,

You guys are in a for a treat. This monthly set features the summer homework I had to do for AP Studio Art and there was a lot of stuff. The summer homework includes information of at least 5 artists, at least 20 reference photos, at least 10 reference items, 5 sketchbook drawings, and at least 4 projects of high quality.

First, here are the reference photos.

After the photos, the homework demanded that we have at least 10 items that would inspire us throughout the year. these things include notes, pictures i did when i was younger, and business cards. I'm sorry if some of these pictures are sideways.

 Next, we had to get information from at least 5 different artists. I chose Alice Neel, Chuck Close, both portrait artists, Andy Warhol, a pop artist, Claude Monet,a landscape painter, and Pablo Picasso, the co-founder of cubism. these pictures, unfortunately, are also sideways.

After the art bios, the homework required us to do at least 5 sketchbook assignments with inspiration from our references. each assignment had to include an object drawn from life. It encouraged us to experiment with new techniques and medium and " go down idea wormholes". Like the other pictures, these are also sideways.

Now here come the projects. We were given several prompts we could do, but we had to do at least 4. I chose to do a portrait of my dad, a tempura on canvas still life, a landscape watercolor, and a color pencil cubism piece. The point of these projects was to demonstrate our ability to use multiple mediums. All of this is going to my Breadth section of the portfolio.

Well, that's my work so far. I hope all of you enjoyed what I posted and come back for next month's set!

 Sincerely, Andy Li
