geeky art question...

Does anyone know which gallery it was that we saw Chuck Close's work at during the field trip at the beginning of the year? thanks....sorry.

concentration pieces...ugh

yeah...so here are the first three from the concentration. The third ended up in the garbage...so I thought I would post where it currently is. The teachers are Ms. Finley, Mr. Price, and Ms. Grimm, and I know that probably isn't obvious. I really dislike my concentration very strongly. I feel like there really isn't a strong conceptual idea uniting them together. I don't know why I chose this concentration. My weakness is the backgrounds and I just don't know how to add on the contour line drawing. I don't know who I should get help from either, in cementing my ideas. I am a perfectionist and want high markings and for my pieces to be perfect. For a drawing portfolio, I know the perspective is very weak. I hate how I decided to use different media on the pieces. They really aren't united except for the fact that they have an idiotic composition that is simply straight on. I can't ask teachers though to let me take unflattering pictures of them that would make wonderful pieces of art--I have tried. So I feel I have reached a fork in the road with this concentration: either have people impersonate teachers or redo the concentration. This just makes me sad because I want to do a good job on it. Your thoughts?
