Through the course of developing my High School AP Portfolio, I had to experiment with different techniques, materials, and styles. The “Breadth” compositions had to demonstrate informed investigation of a broad range of visual concepts. It resulted very beneficial for me to be constantly challenged out of my confort zone at such an early stage of my career. Subsequently, it gave way for me to have a more defined vision of what my voice as an artist was and how I was going to express it through my work.
