Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. Here’s a piece I’ve done for my AP Art Portfolio: http://annsquare.deviantart.com/art/Desert-Rocks-336505842
It’s in watercolors, roughly 14 x 7.5 inches.

I have no formal art education so I just create “art” as a hobby. I have been doing a lot of experimentation since 2011 with photography and art. However, I find myself longing to want to find an art style that is mine. One minute I am really loving the new style I was working with, the next minute I am searching for something better. Sometimes I get very frustrated with myself because I think that I’ll never find an art style that is mine. I have made the past mistake of sending in artwork to places in one style but the next month, having a different style of art. I wish I could take back the past art pieces because I feel I made a bad impression. My question for you is: How do I get to a style that is mine and KNOW that it is ? so that I can avoid making that same mistake again!

Everyone in art school hates critiques, but that doesn’t mean that once you’ve got your paws on a BFA (or dropped out) that you should be done with asking others to look critically at your work. External input helps break the potentially deadly feedback-loop that many studio artists get stuck in from time to time, even when you don’t agree with the critiquer’s response to your stuff (and that opens up a whole exciting world of asking, “Why didn’t I get the response I wanted? What can I do better?”).

For a limited time, Clara Lieu is offering up a “Crit Wall” on her blog, where she will post and critique a selection of submitted works, one per person. She’s an adjunct professor at the Rhode Island School of Design and (of course) a visual artist. Check out her blog for more details. I think it’s a great and generous idea.
