This project is called the 3/4 self portrait with tempera paint. The goal of this project was to take a picture of ourselves looking away from the camera at a 3/4 view, draw that picture in pencil, then paint over it using tempera paints in class. One new skill I learned was how to draw a face from a 3/4 view, as it was slightly different than drawing a face from a head on view. Since the face is turned slightly, the eyes and mouth and nose are all slightly shifted, which took a few tries for me to draw correctly. Color was an art element I used in this project, as I had to get the correct skin color and lip color, which was the most difficult part about that. I also again, had to get the shape of the head down, which I feel that I did an a lot better job this time than with my last self portrait. The colors create a contrast, as the background color that I chose really compliments my red sweatshirt and the color of my face/hair. The shape helps create a balance and proportion, because the shape of the head is one of the most important parts so you can lay down the other features of the head correctly. The way the background colors compliment the person in the picture creates a soothing or relaxing feeling.
