Description this is the third piece in the concentration section of my AP portfolio. (other two are; Daisy. Give yourself away. and my refuge.) my theme is the Switchfoot song "daisy". an awesome song. definitely my fav.

for this piece, i used watercolors, some handmade African papers, card stock paper, and some thread.

oh yes! and thank you [link] for the pose reference which can be found here : [link]

Cute-Rohan-Girl In reply to chris-tel [2006-12-20 16:00:26 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, i know how you feel. I'm a couple pieces behind right now. Trying to cram 4 paintings into 2 weeks. It's so nerve wracking! I hope you get a 5! Your concentration is really interesting! I like it a lot!

chris-tel In reply to Cute-Rohan-Girl [2006-12-20 23:08:49 +0000 UTC]

thanks : ). I was going to do my concentration section on a whole cd... then i decided to narrow it down to one song; just to make it more challenging. 4 paintings in to two weeks. wow, I believe in you : ). What is your concentration theme? Im going to try and squeeze out two more paintings over Christmas vacation... just to have time to 'tweak' my breadth section.

Cute-Rohan-Girl In reply to chris-tel [2006-12-21 03:52:07 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome! Wow, you could do a piece per song, depending on how many tracks were on the CD, but that would be a lot of information to put into each piece, and that could cause it to become too busy. Yeah, i'm almost done with one, and i have 2 more planned out. Just need to finish the one and start the others. I'm doing a combination of the female figure/fabric/and body language (emotions). I need to 'tweak' my breadth as well, it's not very strong and I'm ashamed of some of my pieces.

chris-tel In reply to Cute-Rohan-Girl [2006-12-21 07:18:25 +0000 UTC]

yeah. i was pretty excited because the cd has 12 tracks... perfect. But, i didn't want too many ideas going on... and wanted a way to have them all visually connected. So im pretty happy with my decision. Your theme sounds really great, im excited to see the finished products! : ) I know what you mean... i feel like some of my breadth pieces are unworthy :S. Im sure you'll do just great though@

Cute-Rohan-Girl In reply to chris-tel [2006-12-21 22:34:44 +0000 UTC]

Well, I'm glad you picked just one song. I wish i could hear it, but i don't have any way to download music, and I'm quite broke! lol. As for my theme, I FINISHED A PIECE TODAY!!! I have pictures i want to post. I'm SO excited about it! I doubt I'll get a 5...a 4 perhaps, but anywho! I look forward to seeing your pieces! Are you going to post all 12?

chris-tel In reply to Cute-Rohan-Girl [2006-12-22 02:38:16 +0000 UTC]

Oh that's SO exciting! I can't wait to see! XD Hmm... if u give me yer email, i might be able to send it... but im not sure. it's an amazingly AWESOME song. Even if u hate the band, u've gotta love the song. Yeah... i really really want a 5. only 3 students from my highschool have gotten it in the past 8 years. so i'd like to be one of the select few. but if it doesn't happen, that's okay. i love your work and really hope u get a high score!!! and yes, i will be posting all 12 I should get one or two done in the next few weeks so im pretty excited.

yay! My e-mail address is Mooserack89@yahoo.com Who's the song by? I don't remember. I would love to get a 5. There have only been a few people in the AP classes (in the past 2 years) that have gotten 5's. One of them is in my class again this year...she's kinda...eh. She's not a very friendly and social person. Any who...i can't wait to see more of your work! i posted my 4th piece today! i just got it done a few hours ago. I still need to post piece #1 and #2...
