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.
