After three consistent years of art classes meant to equip students with basic tools, I came to AP Studio Art in search of a theme to tie my pieces together. Two of the displayed pieces (skeleton above and blue-jay below) were not a part of the theme but were instead used to further develop tools or practice using a specific medium.

The theme I chose to explore was getting to the heart of each person I chose to represent. I have always been curious about getting to know people on a deeper level to find out what makes them shine.
