Assignment #6: Pablo Picasso Cubist Painting

Emotions

My Pablo Picasso work is named, Emotions, because of all the different colors and feelings it portrays. In my image I tried to use some of the elements and feelings that the portraits at the museum expired me. I did it step by step trying to use as many elements as I can. The moods and emotions are what I portrayed the best. It was a good experience overall.
My personal portrait witch once was a normal camera shot is eight by ten inches. We used photo-shop to edit the original image to create all the effects on it. Some of the tools I used in photo-shop are the erase, paint, paint-brush, lasso tool, and the selection tool. The tools described weren’t the only ones that used I also worked with the distort and cutout witch helped me move my face around in a weird Picasso image. Even though I used more the tools on my image I still portrayed some effects on it.

Many of those tools helped me with the elements of design on my image witch helped me portrayed a different perspective of my image. The lines are what make up the whole image of my face. The color helps me portray feelings and emotions to my image. The shape was edited by photo-shop witch made my image abstract. The value made the colors portray different feelings to my piece. Further more the elements help me portray the interpret of the colors I used.

My image has many emotions to it but overall it has more of one color then others. At first I tried to use the blue period as an example to show dark and sad emotions. Then I realized that that was just not me. I wanted to show a different side of me so I decided to just start adding dark colors to my eyes. After I decided to add all different kind of variety of colors since I'm not just in one mood, just like any human I switch moods all the time. Overall I started putting different kinds of green since it means happy witch at the end of everything I will always be no matter what.

This is my most successful piece because I tried creating many emotions threw out it. Even though if I would have the chance to redo it all over again I would try to make my image look more abstract, so it can be more like Picasso's pieces. Overall all I liked this assignment witch let me expressed my self threw out the colors I portrayed.

After we choose our background color and made our black out all in black. Later we just added our words to it that fit with the image we tried to portray.

I choose this image because it was the first one that came to my mind. This image how close I was to my friend because I cared bout her. It's an image of just one of our crazy moments that we use to have together.
