Man.. it's nice to know somebody else who understands exactly how insane it was to cover something 8 feet long and 5 feet tall in the course of one month while still attempting to keep up with all other classes. I had to make an AP portfolio at the same time, and never was more busy in my life. But it was very well worth it, biggest project i've ever done. Hahah i feel like a real artist now.
Anyways, I'm glad we both... finished it upon the deadline. I look forward to seeing your design on the website gallery when the 07 finalists get put up.
Hmm I'm sure if you do some nice searching, you could find some news articles about other cow finalists scattered across the nation. Here i'll link you to some.. becuase you just gave me the idea to go search for some
this one has the three washingtonians, including me who were finalists - [link]
theres a HS in california with two cows. there's some pictures here [link] (scroll down)
ummm ..thats all i manged to find ahha

The last website is mine. I can't wait to see all of the finished cows as well. I don't know about you, but I'm nervous about the judging. Hopefully it will work out well for both of us. Congratulations...again!

Your design is really relaxing to look at, so simple, and pretty sweet. You used colored pencil for a bit of it right? I completely went crazy with acrylics. Man I don't think I'm ever going to touch a paint brush again.
I actuallyl didn't put off my AP portfolio because I wasn't exactly enrolled in the AP art class, i was just making a portfolio to send in which is almost entirely comprised of artwork I did prior to this year. I decided to put the two sides of my cow as breadth pieces.
I was really surprised when I found out that the other person at Cupertino is also doing the Sistine Chapel... I thought I was the only one. What a coincidence, but atleast our designs look completely different.
I don't have my pictures posted at the moment... haha.. it'll be a surprise.
I can't wait unitl Mid april to see the whole gallery of 07.

Goodness.. i have to finish seven Concentration pieces... by the coming monday. SO basically I'm doing one piece a day, I put it off so long... but it's all digital so it won't be that time-consuming.
Yeah... I'd have to say my first color medium was Prisma color pencil, I got hooked on them four years ago, and they still would be my preferred medium. However last year I took two painting classes at school, and did some water color and some big painting project over the summer, and the medium has become so much easier. So the only advice is to practice. You already have a natural talent in drawing, an eye for art and all that technical stuff, which is basically the foundation for all mediums of art, including painting. The largest pro to painting is that you can cover large surfaces very easily, colored pencil is very detail-oriented but the downfall is that it takes so much time. After viewing your site, I really admire how you got yourself to spend like.. 100+ hours on your cow... through colored pencil, it's a nice change, as all the entries last year were painted / spray painting. I only spent about fifty, with a little help of course from other students.
I think the judges purposely picked multiples of the same historical event..even though it was out of a pile of 9000 entries, as a way to compare the methods that each artist portrayed the event.. i dunno.
I'm not even sure when they are posting the winning gallery, but I would think, it would be soon. My school actually got a call on the 16th about the cow, but it was a very short and vague call, and the office lady couldn't get the caller to say anything substantial. However she did say that she'd call back in an hour, but the call never came.
Anyways.. some safeway truck came yesterday and picked up our cow to put it on display in one of the stores.. for a month.
Have you gotten any calls yet?
anyways... whatever the results are, I'm sure this was a great, monumental/milestone artsy experience for us both. I know for me, it was the largest and most ambitious project I've ever gotten the priviledge to complete. And hopefully we'll both continue to pursue art in the years to come
