Ok...so I'm finally getting up my next three (!) concentrations. This one is called "Angry," and is another work I added onto from last year (another freebie, you could say). To bring across the emotion of Angry, I used bright, warm, intense colors; an overriding concentric radial/gradation structure, and a subject of a very beside-himself old man. At the critique, I thought about how I could improve this piece and have it suit my new ideas for my concentration. In order to incorporate the portrait into the structure, I drew lines from his head into the wheel-like structure, to make it seem as if he is being pulled into the structure. I also blurred the lines of his face and made parts of the structure actually cut into his face. My whole idea for this is that anger is an unbalanced and "enveloping" emotion that's hard to control, thus the man being drawn into this endless cycle of anger. In addition, I added contrast/value to some parts and cleaned some things up. I think this one turned out well.
I like how you reworked this piece. The emotion you are trying to convey is clear and the design structure helps to convey this. I feel you could work to improve the lines that are drawing the face into the vortex. But overall the work seems successful, nice work.
ReplyDeleteWell done! Effective integration of drawing issues and design elements!
