Value-Added Portraits: Phase 4

November 13, 2017 / / 0 Comments

Overall this project has been a great learning experience for me never in my life have I looked carefully at a photo and really examine it to see that all those whites, blacks, and grays are different shades of each other and that even the smallest change in shade makes it a new color. I’ve never really painted before so that was the most challenging part of this project for me but it was fun to sit down and really study these colors and try to match what was in my collage, I look forward to learning more about color.

Value-Added Portraits: Phase 4

November 13, 2017 / / 0 Comments

Overall in this project, I had created some great ideas, especially with a picture of a hairball in my Narrow-Range artwork. However, it kinda looks like Board due to a large amount of white space, but I have to keep it 6×6 which kinda sucks that I can’t zoom it in. As with my board artwork, it kinda went decent, though it’s a disclaimer that I haven’t painted for over 8 years and I’m bad at mixing colors.

Feel free to view my previous phases to see how my project has turned out.

Value-Added Portraits: Phase 3

Broad-Range Collage

Broad-Range Painting

For my Broad painting, I tried my best to paint similar to the original (or collage). Overall, it kinda matches well between the collage and the painting I made.

Narrow-Range Digital Collage

Narrow-Range Collage

To be honest, this looks like broad, but due to the fact it has to be 6×6 and that I want to picture it like a hairball, I wanted to zoom it in so that it can turn into a Narrow-Range picture. But I had done this phase for a long time and this is all I got.

This phase took a total of 8 hours to do.

Value-Added Portrait: Phase 3

Grey has never looked more grey in my life. I’m glad I don’t see in only grey.

This is how you know artists are crazy; IT’S ALL GREY!!!

Wow!! Lemme put this one white little spot here and make everything else dark! We’ll call that lowkey. Flip it around and that’s highkey! And since their focal point is all alone, it’s a narrow spectrum.

Hold on, what if it’s mixed up of all the greys, you ask? That’s broad spectrum.

It’s all grey to me.

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.
