ART AND DESIGN REVIEW

PORTRAIT-INITIAL SOURCES

• For the initial ideas I went to the National Portrait Gallery and the National gallery to gather research, for the first two images you can see, these are from the National Gallery, the first one is a portrait by Camille Pissarro I decided to do this as I l liked the quirkiness of the background and the tonal values. For the second image done by louis Léopold I liked the window feel and the black and white old style feel. For the second part, I also researched into the National portrait gallery and the first artist is Brian Sayer As I like the whole body image with the coat being the main colour focus on the page as it draws you in. Finally, I looked at Harold Gilman and Spencer Gore I decided to look at this artist as I felt that he abstract look would be interesting to review and paint due to the sporadic nature of the colours.

DEVELOPMENT

• this development stage of the project I looked at the certain ideas that I could do for the portrait, I also looked at experimenting with different techniques through my initial ideas, I also took my main inspiration from the first artists that I looked at as they used tonal techniques and created a realism effect which is what I wanted to rely back to my own work.

FINAL PORTRAIT

• I decided to do the final portrait in a simplistic tonal way instead of the other abstract paintings that I looked at as I felt that it would represent more of a realistic feel which is what I wanted to convey in my piece. I decided to add a blue background as it is my favourite colour and I would stand out against the green top and the brown hair which made it stand out more.

PREVIOUS PROJECTS

• The printmaking project helped me develop my techniques as it made me evaluate the process in which different styles of art are made and how it can relate to the real world.

• The final graphics project that we had to do helped my techniques as it made me consider the styles and ways in which I evaluate my work.
