My name is Anjeli Wenk and I am looking for an apprenticeship in graphic design. I am 16 years old and have recently started the Vorkurs at the Schule für Gestaltung Zürich.
I have always been fascinated by design and animation and was convinced from a young age that I wanted to pursue a creative career. Over the past few months at the Vorkurs, I have gained valuable skills and experience, especially with various design and animation programs. I am reliable, precise and eager to expand my knowledge and creativity in new projects.
My Work
The lush, vibrant colors and textures achievable with oils allow me to express my creativity in a way that feels both traditional and endlessly innovative. I started with oils in July 2023 and look forward to exploring this media

Botanicals and Shells

Painting botanicals allows me to capture the intricate beauty of nature, celebrating the delicate details that often go unnoticed. I love to paint the curves and play with light on the petals.
Pen and Ink
Pen and ink is a difficult medium and because it is permanent, this is a challenge that I enjoy. One of my favourite works of art is the tram drawing, I liked the two figures, mother and son, and the relationship of the way they were sitting in the tram. I also found a love of architecture, and depicting it with pen.
Sketches of Kathak dancers
I like to combine my love for animation with my love for dance. These sketches are the beginnings of a project I have started. I am animating the dance choreography of kathak dancers.

The Dancing Ballerina
The dancing figure, trying to capture a moving figure has always interested me. For this project I watched and paused a video of a female dancing, each frame I sketched and after many sketches, I used Procreate to create an animation
Black and White
mixed media
through the use of pen, acrylic paint and ink, I have created a 16 piece work of art. The design flows from piece to piece bringing a calm Zen feel to the art work. Feel free to zoom in to see the details.
Digitial Art
Utilizing digital tools such as a stylus, digital painting software, and various digital inking techniques, I've created patterns inspired by traditional Indian clothing patterns.
The following digital works have been created using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. The Items on the bottom are from the application form created during the Vorkurs at the Schule für Gestatung Zurich. The ones on the top are from a Schnupperlehre where I had to design a logo.
At school we had to design and print our own chocolate boxes, and the following pictures show a mock-up of the box I made. The packaging was done by hand and in Photoshop.
Childrensbook Illustrations
For the End of Highschool Project I decided to write and illustrate a children's book about the cultural festivals celebrated in India. Here is a glimpse into the colourful pages of the book.
Still life and alcohol ink
here I have used many different mediums, such as acrylic paint, colour pencil and alcohol ink. These are new mediums for me and I continue to explore the versatility.
