Sketching:Before I started on my final project, I had to do lots of sketching. I tried to work out the kinks in my ideas so that I would be able to put them down on paper. My initial idea was that I was going to do my hair hot colors which I soon decided against. It didn't give the quiet, relaxed tone I wanted so I switched my hair color to cool colors which helped portray my message much better! | References: To the left are the references I used for my project. During this project we were given an artist to study and mine was Basquiat. After we studied that artist and wrote a paper on them, we then created a painting mimicking that artist's style. I chose to create a self portrait. Basquiat created many self portraits throughout his career and each one was a little different. I chose to incorporate the bright colors, bold lines, and words that Basquiat uses in his art. Instead of writing the words like Basquiat did, I decided that I was going to use magazine and newspaper clippings as my background and then spray paint on top of that and finally paint on top of that as well. |
