Portfolio Arte por: Cayetana Montoya 2020-2021
What is this portfolio about? This portfolio is about the way I perceive the relationships around me. For each of the pieces in this portfolio I had to really think what I get, learn, and see in my relationships. I analysed them deeply and realize what they have taught me in my life. Especially on this times, the of ending school and the pandemic, doing this really made me realize how lucky I am. But, it also helped me think about what I want out of life, and how each of this relationships has shaped me to become the person that I am today. It was a learning experience that I will take on for the rest of my life. From putting my thoughts into pieces to later learning about composition, color, and so on. I really had to think outside the box because I wanted each of the pieces to be unique different but still have that narrative thread that tied them. I also learned from this portfolio that great artist have to think about, composition, meaning, personal and global maters and connects them to their work and is able to connect to others, which was challenging in the beginning. But as I progressed so did all of does skills. In this portfolio I would like you to also try to analyze and think about how you perceive the relationships around you. And to als think if they have shaped you in any way.
