Principles of design week

Self
portrait
For our first lesson
on Principles of design, we were required to do a self portrait, but this was
no ordinary shading and sketching. we were allowed to use any or of art such as
romanticism or graffiti. i went with nature, although i wasn't quite sue
of what it was based on, i went on with it. i used mostly leaves and grass for
my facial expressions. I used two brown dead leaves for my eyes because brown
is the colour of my eyes! i went on with thin green and brown grass for my
hair, in reality, my hair is very dark brown and ice cream sticks to represent
my ears just for the crazy side of me.
I did something different
which none else had done for their face color. i had put my portrait over,
covering a flame given from a lighter, when in the right angle, the paper with
get brownish ash that can't be rubbed of easily, given of by the flame. i
learnt this technique in form 1 during an art exam. till this day, i find that
technique very cool and classy.

One other background detail ihad added was the coke can. It represents
'food' as i am a food lover but to the irony, im not that into coke or pepsi or
anything alike, i am more of an ' iced lemon tea or lychee person.
