Sustained Investigation Series
For my sustained investigation, I decided to focus on giving off a stained glass feel through the use of color gradations and line work. My biggest challenge while working on this was coming up with creative compositions. It was difficult to make unique and complex compositions using various organic shapes, however I tried my best to over come this obstacle. 
My "aha moment" was when I created the artwork titled "Stained Glass." I loved the way that piece came out and as soon as it was finished I knew I wanted to create more works like it, which then lead into me coming up with my sustained investigation idea. My experience in AP art allowed me to grow as an artist by allowing me to expand my ideas and find a unique style that I enjoy doing.
