The mood I went for was angry! I’m a very edgy and assertive person with an aggressive side to me, so I thought going for angry would be the option I could work and do best with.

My focal point would be the angry mouth! I tried to achieve this by creating a gradient on an elongated neck (you’ll see this in my final piece) which forces viewers to look in the direction of the mouth.

The backstory to this is pretty simple. Me and my friends went out, bill came out to one thousand, and I was left to pay it. Because of this, I’m furious and have to say!This image requires alt text, but the alt text is currently blank. Either add alt text or mark the image as decorative.

The Selfiemotion project was fun to do. As you can notice, my first collage was plain and easy. when I showed it to my professor she said:” Chop, chop yourself.”
I was like what? more than this! She answered: yes, and that was all. I started cutting and playing with the pieces to show my emotion. I think I worked hard to get the final one that I will show in the final step: delivery.
I enjoyed the process and the discoveries made while trying to deliver.
What I learned from the ‘Selfiemotion Project” that with a grayscale value you can create a mood by focusing in a specific point that shows that mood, and using different values of grayscale you can direct the viewer’s eye.
In my project, using the grayscale helped me to express the movement of the chosen mood, and to emphasis the point that shows that mood. In this case, it was the eyes and the head.
However, I wasn’t fully satisfied with the result, so I kept brainstorming; that’s the final result that I will put in the next step.

Project 3: Selfiemotion

Here is my final piece.

Above here are drafts I’ve played around with. When starting This project I knew I wanted to create the wavy lines around the body for the movement but I didn’t know which emotion I should choose. I played around with them and ultimately choose surprised.
