Last one! I did this over a year ago, but I still love it quq It was the second Concentration piece I did last year (my junior year) for AP Studio Art... I did the class twice, lol

For the second semester of your AP portfolio you're supposed to come up with a theme/concept and all your drawings in class have to have that theme for the rest of the semester (one finished piece a week). My theme for the first year I took AP Studio Art was people showing emotions through body language and color instead of through facial expressions, BUT THEN instead of having their faces be blank, or not having a face at all (which would make it confusing because the body is doing something totally different then the face) I decided to have all the people wearing masks, specifically animal skulls. Because a lot of animals symbolize certain personality traits (intelligent owl, proud lion, playful puppy, etc.), I wanted to combine the people's body language, plus the animals and colors to really make the person's personality stand out. It was a pretty complicated theme, but once all the pieces are together you get it |D This one was the Vulnerable Mouse, hence the mouse skull mask 8]

16x21. Acrylic paint. Made in 2008.
