In August of 2019, I began compiling my first ever portfolio for the AP Studio Art course. Little did I know, less than half a year later, the entire world would go into lockdown and I'd have to finish the remainder of my portfolio at home on my own. After countless nights spent Googling substitutions for inaccessible materials followed by many instances of unconventional improvisation, I was finally able to press submit on the CollegeBoard website. Below are the pieces that earned me a 5 for my AP Studio Art portfolio (along with some that didn't quite make the cut).
Artist - Amanda Yingcharoen
Theme - "My grandfather's stories of WWII"
Instructor - Jon S.
