Sustained Investigation
How can I use portraits to convey emotions?
How can I use portraits to convey emotions?
For my sustained investigation, I wanted to produce fine art that had expressions to where you could understand the emotions being presented. Out of all 15, #1, “Moody Blues” is the most fine art, with the small smirk and cocked eyebrow, it gives off a suspicious and secret vibe. With #5, “Wild Side,” I wanted to experiment with limited colors, so I produced a drawing that had both max black and max white areas, as well as the smirk across the angel’s face, for the emotion/expression addition. With #2, I wanted to produce a piece that was a split portrait, so each side of the character’s face was different, and I achieved this with changing the skin color and hair color, along with the expression on each split side of the woman’s face. The colors juxtaposed as well as the emotions on each side of the face. With #10, “After-school Fights” I wanted to experiment with the lighting, so I tried to give it some sort of “light through the window” effect. Since it was about being in the principal’s office, I wanted to make the characters look upset and annoyed. For #8, looking back at the sketch and the finished product, there were a few revisions, on the young boy’s face, I gave him a smile, which deepened the meaning of the drawing, as well as the father’s hand on the head, as a sign of affection, I added these for a bit more of an emotional effect on the piece.
