Im Currently Taking The Art Portfolio Course At My School And I Wanted To Share My Work For Our First
I’m currently taking the Art Portfolio course at my school and I wanted to share my work for our first project!
The project was to make 3-5 pieces from a word. My word was grotesque.


I had close to finished these two before our student teacher came up to me and asked me to look for things with a deeper understanding of the word instead of just going surface level. So these two have no real meanings other than I wanted to draw them.

This one has a somewhat personal and deep meaning to me; as a trans person somedays I’ll look in the mirror and be confused at who I’m looking at. “That person in the mirror isn’t me, I look more masculine and they obviously look like a feminine figure.” It was as if I was looking at a completely different person, like the body I lived in and used was a grotesque disfiguration of my actual self.

When this idea came to me I had a completely different sketch and everything of how it would look. The meaning behind this is that I used to be a big hoarder, collecting and keeping food wrappers and papers and plastic. I almost never threw things out, it felt to weird and icky to do. No one really noticed it because I hid my hoarding of trash but it always felt like someone would find it and tell me I was grotesque + weird for keeping that type of stuff.
I also have my page I planned this stuff out with (thumbnails and rough designs) if y’all would like to see any of that.
