Student Commentary:
What is the central idea of your concentration?
My concentration is on mechanical objects. The subject matter in my pieces ranges from cars to hack-saws, to speakers. I chose this focus because I wanted to take a brake [sic] from the everyday portraits and do something I find interesting. The development of my pieces was a long process, because I first had to find my objects and then execute them in a very creative and distinguished manner. Most of the subject matter I chose is either my belongings or objects I have seen somewhere else.

How does the work in your concentration demonstrate the exploration of your idea? You may refer to specific slides as examples.
All of my concentrations are done in pencil or acrylic paint. From the beginning of my pieces, I used pencil because I was more drawing orientated [sic], then as I got more practice with paint; my pieces progressed into realistic vivid works. In the end I am proud of my pieces and happy with the way they turned out.

Rationale for Score:
In this portfolio, the student presents a thorough investigation of the structure of mechanical objects through selective drawing. This student’s informed understanding of contrast relationships is stylistically confident and consistent. Form is rendered by the student’s close attention to structure and detail and is presented in varying perspectives. Color is used for emphasis and facilitates visual movement. The student’s highly developed drawing skills are technically consistent throughout this body of work.
