AppliedArt Personal Unit- Portraits Finalpiece
The final piece (so far), with 3D sculpted arm features to reiterate to a viewer how much deeper a representation this is intended to be than a traditional portrait, also adding more interest with use of more media and deception of depth. I intend to use acrylic paints with touches of oils, to distort some features such as the cheek and nose to how i see them instead of observationally correct. These 'distorted' features will be painted aiming more towards realism, whereas the observationally correct parts will be painted using more expressive marks. This will add further interest as well as help to direct the viewer's eyes towards what looks more 'realistic' and detailed, only for the realistic features to be disproportional. hopefully this will work to inspire reflection into our perception of ourselves and how much one image can show.
