My idea for my concentration is "Teenage Girl". As a teenage girl, I have noticed that I am expected to be either a straight-A student with successes that reach the moon, or a promiscuous flirt with no future or aspirations. This isn't fair, nor true. There's nothing wrong with me, and I--and other girls--shouldn't be forced to fit the stereotypes that are flung our way. The four main principles of design I want to focus on are light, mood, point-of-view, and contrast.

The Final Dozen
...and then there were twelve. Sad as I was to have to change my concentration, I know it was for the best. It was also more autobiographical. As a teenage-artist, I have noticed many stereotypes. Many expect us to be nerdy, emo, or scene. Not everyone is like that; that's the beauty of art! Everyone is unique! I am very proud of how this series played out. I have to give a big shout out to my model for being so patient with me and being there for me through the ups and downs of everything! I started and ended with my two strongest photos and tried to make a story. As well as creating art--the written/hand-drawn pieces were made and edited by me, just to be clear, it's my work, not someone online--the young artist also enjoys playing the semi-popular card game, Magic, with her friends and has a story; in simplest terms: Prom night didn't go as she'd hoped. I tried to create a story within each mini-series, whether it be from enjoyment to madness--Magic, or beginning to end--Prom. Each "mini-series" is separated by a piece of art, which ties into the next mini-series. This part was crucial to me.

Spring Break
After a stressful, emotional Spring Break, I've decided to change my concentration to Life of a Teenage Girl. I'm disappointed obsession didn't work out, but it's better in the long run.
