Exploration of Environmentalism via Digital Art

An AP 2D Design Portfolio

Written Evidence of Sustained Investigation:

Identify the question(s) or inquiry that guided your sustained investigation:

My essential question was, What is our human connection to Pollution? When I started this sustained investigation one of my main goals was to challenge myself and the themes behind my pieces. I wanted to create pieces that the viewers would not only enjoy visually, but would be able to interpret and appreciate a deeper meaning left behind by me. That is why I choose to explore the connection humans have with Pollution. I not only wanted to explore pollution as many of us know it, but also other pollution like digital, light, and even thermal.

Describe how your sustained investigation shows evidence of practice, experimentation, and revision guided by your question(s) or inquiry:

I believe that many of pieces have a similar digital representation of pollution through different "eyes". I practiced by exploring different processes and mediums to create artwork that had a collective theme but each could also stand on its own. By constantly going back and revising the process and mediums I was working with I was able create the exact viewing experience I wanted my audience to have. I also wanted to challenge myself by experimenting in Photoshop in as many ways as I could, but at the same time keeping my pieces simple, effective, and true to the investigation.
