Final Art Material Exploration

1) I selected three works from Clyfford Still art gallery because those pieces were true, real and honest. The portraits showed the man as simple and pure as possible. 2) I used a various amount of materials to create my portrait. I used paper, oil pastel, color pencil, pencil and paint. The reason was because variety is more fun to work with. 3) I'm a really poor artist and this was very difficult for me. I just had to take my time to get over my fear of doing a bad job. 4) This piece depicts me in a simple way. Its a close up on my face which I feel makes it more real and simple. 5) In the self portrait I used line in sketching my jaw and skull. I used texture for my hair because that was the best technique for the curly hair I have. 6) This project was complicated as well as time consuming. After a while however I did end up having a little bit of fun with it. 7) My final work doesn't exactly look like me however it does closely resemble me which is good enough. I tried really hard I just hope it isn't too bad!
