This was a planning sketch of the one face with half being in regular color and half being in black and white. I wasn't really happy with it on paper because it didn't really look like my inspiration. It was an idea though and I later tried it in photoshop to see it seeing it digitally would change my mind.
|
This was a planning sketch of me just in black and white with the idea of having a blue background. I thought that this idea was lacking in in using art technique and skill so I decided not to go through with it but I was closer to what I wanted in a final piece.
|
This was a planning sketch of what would eventually be my final piece. I only drew one row but I was happy with how it was a close representation of my inspiration. I was also happy with how it was able to portray the message that I wanted it to.
|
My original intention was to only use one face but have the face split into happy and sad emotions. I had one side with original color and one side with black and white. I was going to do the same thing with the red and blue backgrounds but by this point I wasn't happy with how the piece was looking so I changed it up.
|
Then I just though out having the whole face clack and white with the blue background just having one emotion within my message. I though that it was lacking in technique which made me not go through with this idea.
|
I began the project by taking a picture of my with s smile and without smiling. I did this so I could have the images of be portraying the emotions that I wanted to include in my message. I had to try and keep my head still so when I aligned the sides of the head the would actually line up.
I then used Gimp Photoshop to create my project. I made a new blank white background that was 24in x 36in. This was my main background that I would paste the copied final products onto. |
I edited the sadder more normal face and lowered the gradation to make the image black and white. I did this to give the image a better meaning behind it. I wanted the image to give a sad feeling so making it black and white would help me portray that message better. I used the lasso tool to select half of the face and copied it for later.
|
Then while I was on the blue background, I was looking at the patterns that I would maybe use for the background. While doing this, it gave me the option to add the clipboard image and it gave me the product to the left. I was happy with how this looked and it even looked more like my inspiration. The multiple images of my face were just like Warhols portraits and played a role in me keeping the image like this.
|
I then used the picture of me smiling and used the lasso tool to select the opposite side of my face. I then used the pattern of clipboard image to paste the copied side of my face. I kept the face the normal color to also help portray the message of happiness. This also helped show the difference between the two sides.
|
Then I used the lasso tool to select half of each image and copied and pasted it to the original background. I really think that Warhol played a key into the the design of the piece and the multiple images of my portrait. I liked this as the final piece because not only does it look like my inspiration, but I feel like it does a great job of portraying the message that I wanted it to.
