Student Commentary:
What is the central idea of your concentration?
The theme was “my space”, which incorporates the factual, tangible, and conceptual things that I have seen and combin[ed] with image[s] of my own creative works.

How does the work in your concentration demonstrate the exploration of your idea? You may refer to specific slides as examples.
Most of [the] images are a picture of a hand drawn characters that I have developed or is an alteration of already existing characters. There are also realistic pictures of actual objects like hands, art supplies, and cans. Every characters besides Spawn in image 2, Hellboy in image 5, and the cyclopian figure in image 7 are all compl[e]tely original. The borrowed characters have been redrawn with alteration.

Rationale for Score:
These works make a highly imaginative connection between the idea of the concentration and the work presented. The inventiveness and exuberance reflected in the works engage viewers, inviting them to identify with the student in images 9 and 11. The works demonstrate highly effective integration of concepts and drawing skills. Mastery of techniques is outstanding, and developmental thinking goes well beyond technical concerns. The work is of excellent quality and gives voice to the student’s unique vision. The theme is evocative.
