Create an expressive self portrait. Use marks, shapes, value and colors especially to enhance the mood of your work in any medium you choose, can be crayons, pastels, paint. It doesn’t have to be realistic. Remember lines, shapes, color and value can really influence the mood of the work. Artists to look at: Alice Neel, Lucian Freud, abstract expressionists, Modigliani, Picasso, Egon Schiele. Let us know your mood or insight to your character by just looking at the work, not any written words. Post to this discussion and respond to 2 others (see if you can guess the mood they are trying to evoke) by the end of day.
