"Self Portrait"
Rational: I think this is one of my best works because it shows all of my artistic abilities and it expresses my inner personality. It is realistic but also shows creativity. Also this piece was selected to be in Scholastic 144 and got an honorable mention if it wasn't a quality work I probably wouldn't have gotten those awards.
"Carol-Joy"
Rational: This is one of my favorite pieces that I made for my concentration. I think this piece is the most visually appealing, it shows the emotion and happiness of the girl in the picture and it has well done composition and craftsmanship. Also during critiques I got a lot of positive feedback about this piece.
"Untitled"
Rational: I chose this piece as one of my quality pieces because I like the bright vibrant colors in this piece. As well as the sharp and thick line making that accurately captures the style of Alexej Jawlensky . I also like how even though this piece is very abstract you can still see the resemblance of me as the reference image.
"Genevieve"
Rational: This was the first piece I made for my concentration. I think this is a quality work because of the values of the figure and the negative space. I also feel that this piece is quietly thought provoking, and causes the viewer to feel things.
"Thom Yorke"
Rational: I chose this piece because I think it is a very strong piece. The likeness between my painting and the reference image I used are very alike. I also like the complimentary colors I used. This piece got a lot of very good feedback. I got a high grade for it, and it was excepted into Artrageous. That's why I think it is a quality piece.
