Social commentary final pieceThis is my final piece for social commentary. All in all I like how it turned out, though I did have to work kind of quickly because I couldn't go back in after the modeling paste had already dried. If I could change anything I would have research different techniques on how to use the modeling paste in different ways.
Social commentaryFor my social commentary I choose to show racial inequality and injustice. I think showing racial inequality through art can sometimes speak volumes to certain people. I decided to use modeling paste on a canvas. Combining black and white paste and having them eventually separate, with the separation I want to have a layer of paste that's cracking and broken to represent the broken foundation of humanity
My progress reportWhen I first started with my project I used a projector and I think that was one of my better choices throughout this process. I wanted to start with my skin tones and I had a pretty easy time with that. Most of my struggles came with trying to make everything proportionate and symmetrical. I'm pretty happy with my finished piece though there are things I would do different if I could restart. I would have put more expression in my portrait because I feel like it's a little bland.
Famous self portrait referenceI choose these self portraits as references because I was really inspired by there use and variety of color and the way they placed certain colors to add value. I'm going to try to incorporate some of these techniques into my self portrait.
