Jonelle Dawkins created a 3D AP portfolio that included clothing designs and sculptures inspired by different time periods and themes. The clothing designs focused on creating pieces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, especially for petite frames. The sculptures represented themes of young adulthood and nature. The portfolio included 12 clothing designs from different decades as well as 6 sculptures made from various recycled and found materials that depicted themes like flowers, mythology, and environmentalism.

2. Artistic Statement
“There is beauty in the petite frame that is often dwarfed by well-
meaning, but cumbersome clothes of the standard measurement
system. I intend to make clothes that are functional, but also
catches the eye in a pleasing manner.”
“My sculptures also represent the nuances of young adulthood
and the days that lie before the turmoil of real life.”
