Maggie Grugan's work was selected for the 2023 AP Art and Design Digital Exhibit, which features exceptional artwork from AP students' final portfolios. Learn more about Maggies' work: http://spr.ly/6047mjEcJ From Maggie: "'We’re Going Down' is portrayed in a World War II-era military comic book style. I sought to display the long-lasting effects of near-death trauma through a true story from my great-grandpa, Sidney. Who served in the Air Corps and military in the late 1930s and early 1940s. While I never knew my great-grandfather, I was intrigued by his experiences, searching through personal items from the war and his service record, which was detailed with photos and notes. It invoked questions that I chose to approach in my artwork. I thought about my great grandma Martha and the expectations put upon her during this time in my piece 'Do Your Part,' along with loss, scars, morals, and separation. However, “We’re Going Down” carried a lot of weight as it detailed the events of a true story." #APArt #APArtandDesign

Lucas Captan's work was selected for the 2023 AP Art and Design Digital Exhibit, which features exceptional artwork from AP students' final portfolios. Learn more about Lucas' work: http://spr.ly/6048laUie From Lucas: "Merging my love for fantasy worlds with my passion for environmental activism created the message of my artworks. I took a fantastical element of living seed characters and placed them in the real world to highlight how nature is affected by modern society. The entirety of nature is personified in the protagonist as it narrowly avoids acid rain, swims across polluted waters, and outruns the ever-growing industrial landscape. The artwork accepted for this exhibit encapsulates the entire portfolio in a straightforward image. I created an imposing and powerful force that devastated the forest using industrial imagery like the woodchipper and the smoke. Finding the perfect placement of each element took many hours to develop an idea that was conveyed instantly. People usually read from the left to the right, so I placed the woodchipper facing to the left with the smoke moving right to left to emphasize the feeling of disruption." #APArt #APArtandDesign
