The first show of the 2022-23 season was a hit. The December Celebration of Learning, as it's known, is a big part of the specialized academies. Theatre students performed, music students played their hearts out, and art students put up their pieces around the school. In the VAM (Visual Arts and Media) program, which is where I am situated, we were lucky enough to be able to display multiple pieces of art. Each of us had a sculpture, painting, and our choice of other media. I chose to display three photographs I had taken, and a pencil + ink drawing. I wish I would have known how big the photos would be printed because I would have selected another photo to add. My presentation, Portraiture: Persons & Paradise, consisted of the photos Vie Solitaire, Kylie and Nine-teen 50, and the drawing Pulchritudinous (meaning beautiful). They are some of my favourite photographs, but I wish I tried harder on the drawing. I honestly just tried to get it done and though I’m somewhat happy with the product, I wish I had been more creative in my approach. If I had the chance to redo my set-up, I would have included my favourite drawing. My favourite one is a mannequin study I did on brown paper with white pencil crayon and white gel pens. I love it so much, and can’t wait to bring it home and hang it up somewhere. Right now, I’m sitting at my desk burning a coconut-scented candle, and couldn’t be happier with the outcome of this show. The only thing that could have been better was if an art school scout came in and offered me a full ride scholarship, but one can dream. Overall, this was a very fun experience that I hope to expand on in the future. I enjoyed it immensely. Below I've attached my artist statement, the pieces I displayed, and the display board all put together.
