Value Added Portraits: Phase 1

Value-Added Portraits: Phase 2

Value-Added Portraits: Phase 3

This project taught me that high key and low key predominately broad range and narrow range values create a sense of moods. High key elements create a brighter more happier mood. Low key elements create a darker melancholy mood. I used elements of different scaled squares of a portrait of myself and made collages. In all four collages I used my hair to emphasize movement. My hair was also my focal points in all my collages.  It was very interesting using a photo of myself to create collages with movement an moods. All collages ended up with a figure/ground relationship with dark hues in forming two different ranges. My broad range is chromatic with hues of black, white, and gray. My narrow range is achromatic , focusing more on mostly white and grayscale elements.
