This past year of taking AP Studio Art has been an extremely valuable and interesting experience in which I was encouraged to expand my boundaries and explore new styles through 2D-design. For my final project, I captured four portraits of my friends using experimental lighting. My goal was to create a warm and dreamy atmosphere focusing on the beauty of these girls, all with unique personalities and interests. Most of the models in these photos were people I grew closer to through AP art, and so for that I am grateful for the opportunities and experiences that this AP course has provided to me. Though the year is coming to an end and I will no longer be taking pictures for my AP art portfolio anymore, I will continue to practice photography with the newfound techniques and skills that I have acquired through the course of this year. Special thanks to Jiwon Han, Hannah Park, Dominique Calaguas, and Claudia Tang for modeling.
