I chose my transparency project and my self portrait to show my growth in using Prismacolor pencils and proportions.
The transparency project is of a man wearing a see through plastic mask. And my self portrait is of me as a robot, tearing my wires out.
Looking at the two pictures, I have changed in many ways, through application of materials, in the transparency project, I would put a lot of weight on my colored pencils, after that project, I learned not to put so much weight on my pieces, so the robot me looks much better. In techniques and skills, I has applied the face measurement techniques to get proper proportions for robot me, but I didn't do that for the transparency mask, because I didn't learn about it yet. The proportion is more correct in the drawing of me. Through artistic vision, the placing of my face in the self portrait is much better, how I'm not in the middle or too close to the viewer, the background of the robot is more well thought out, though the background of the mask is just one plain color. Through use of principles and elements, like I mentioned before, the facial proportions by measuring eye length to make a proportional face. The mask looks a little deformed. In terms of creativity, I fully came up with the robot idea, and negative photo idea, the mask was purely a photo that I had of a transparent mask, I didn't come up with much else for it, though the design of the robot was much more well thought out. Through intuition, it's very hard to tell that the mask is infact, a mask, at first glance it looks more like a very shiny, deformed face rather than a plaastic mask, though it is easy to tell that the robot is a robot, because of the wires and the photo negative look. The subject matter is easy to see in the robot picture, since I do believe that it looks like me, but in the mask, the subject matter is supposed to be transparency, but since it looks more like a face than a mask, that message doesn't deiver very well.
