Art Portfolio: Exploring Practices, Materials, and Creative Responses

This art portfolio showcases a student's exploration of various artistic practices, materials, and techniques. It begins with a conceptual framework, including mind maps and statements, followed by creative responses using pencil, pen, paint, collage, and photography. The portfolio demonstrates creative and analytical thinking through different exercises, such as continuous line drawings, hatching, color mixing, and digital filters. Artist research is conducted on Pablo Picasso, Caravaggio, Vincent Van Gough and Claude Monet, analyzing their techniques and influences. The portfolio culminates in final artwork pieces, demonstrating the student's understanding and application of the explored concepts and techniques. Desklib provides access to similar assignments and study tools for students.

Exploring Practices

Pencil 1
In the first continuous line drawing the artwork is used to show the
inner workings of the mind. It appropriately depicts the way
human mind understand and stores information.

Pencil 2
In the second image hatching technique is used to make the image more lifelike. Here the image is created in response to
idea that understanding and creating information is complex activity and individuals use the information from outside to
complete their self-identity and complete themselves. Absence of complete information leads to incomprehension and
meaninglessness through which divided identity is formed as shown in the pencil sketch.

Pen 1
The first pen drawing is completed trough hatching and depicts the ways in which human
understanding can reach beyond universe to visualize outer space concepts. This is an accurate
display of human mind's limitless understanding and retention.
