My World of Art: An Introduction to my work

I have been studying art for five years in high school. In the past two years I had picked up two art courses per year. This was lots of hard work and pressure! But never not fun! When I was 15, I worked on a range of different arts to complete an art folio. In New Zealand art courses, you have to complete an art folio to pass the course. This is one of my four folios I have completed:

Art Design folio completed 2006 - Year 13 (aka final year of high school)

This board was lots of hard work, especially on the basis that you have 25 students working on the same thing in one classroom with limited number of computers and lots of stress to get things done! This took almost 3/4 of a year to complete and received an average grade. However, I learnt lots from working on this folio!

Art Sculpture folio completed 2006 - Year 13 (aka final year in high school)

This folio was WAY harder. It consisted of lots of conceptual ideas combied with the practicality of it; it also involved painting skills as well as good photography skills. This was one of the weirdest, yet most interesting things I've ever done in my life, and made me more open minded, aware and knowledgable about the weird and wonderful world of art. It took pretty much the entire year to complete. It received a high grade, which I was thrilled about because it meant all those sleepless nights were worth it! I will be posting future posts with the original digital photographs of both, the final and the conceptual/working photographs from this folio.

Art Design folio completed 2005 - Year 12

This folio was much easier to complete as it was only two boards! Futhermore, we were given the images used - they are the designs of fashion designer John Galliano and his images and designs - and were instructed to design using them or designing around them. This also achieved a reasonably high grade, which I am quite surprised about, when comparing to my future work above. Oh well, times change... I will be posting my 2004 folio as soon as i manage to photograph it, and I will be posting close-ups of these works, and other works very soon. At the meantime, please enjoy my blog, and feel free to comment on anything!
