Quercetti: AP Exam Practice

 -For my sustained investigation I asked myself, what is living with mental illness really like? I wanted each piece to depict life on a daily basis while suffering a mental illness. There are so many stigmas around different disorders and I wanted each piece to reflect the individual not their disease. As someone who suffers from mental illness herself, it is so important to me to help those without it understand how those who suffer daily lives can be affected. 

-I wanted all of the pieces in my sustained investigation to show repetition however, I also wanted each piece to show my growth as an artist. Throughout each piece I use the same general techniques but, with each piece show improvement with that skill. Although I am using the same techniques in each piece, I also wanted each piece to have an element of experimentation whether it be in the background or the main focal point.
