This month we have been working on a portrait unit! We were tasked with creating a unique and creative portrait that expresses a purpose. I wanted to do something different than the typical acrylic paintings that I have been working on so far this year so I decided to make the background a newspaper collage. I cut out a bunch of different size pieces of newspaper and then macheed it onto the paper. When it came to the actual person I have in my picture, I wanted my artwork to be different from all of the other portraits in the room so I did a silhouette! Someone actually gave me this idea during a critique! During critiques we were collaborating about our artwork. Another artistic behavior I used this month was creating original art. Typically I have a reference image, but for this project I went completely on my own, and I’m really happy with how it turned out!
