Expressionism, January 2014
In my current A2 work, for my coursework I am exploring the question "how do artists use colour expressively in portraits?" This piece has been inspired by the German expressionist artist Kathe Kollwitz, who did artwork based on the holocaust, therefore her work reflects emotion through colour. So I photographed my friend, using black and white filters to reflect sorrow. I then used charcoal and chalk to draw her. Whereas the bright, messy colours in the background are inspired by modern artists Lionel Smit and Andrew Salgado.
