Final! After the last in progress critique, I started thinking about my "why" a lot. I decided that I wanted to represent the efforts I have been making to really find myself these past few months after really losing sight of myself through a toxic relationship as well as the toxic friendships I had had in my life for so long. I tried to depict this through an abstract portrait where you can't really tell what you're looking at and you have to really look and find me in there. I then decided to use the repetition technique because I really like the way it looks and it can also contribute to the idea of the different versions of myself I have gone through while doing my soul searching. I wanted to have the effect of me almost shaking my past off as I move toward the future so I used the splatter brush tool a lot. I blended my background layers together then added the picture of myself. I always try to start with a background with so...
I love the colors and staggered colorful silhouette effect, however, i feel like you have room to add more blending modes, patterns and images to “destroy” the original image, making it look less like the iconic image
ReplyDeleteMaddie, I love each of your iterations! The way you have experimented with color is very playful, while still keeping Frida's attitude in the forefront! I'm so impressed by the fact that you have two different tones of red working together. The deep red and bright red combo immediately caught my eye. I really love the use of color in general and appreciate how artists make their color palettes flow. Your use of contrast with the reds and greens is lovely. Great job!!
