Summer Project

Over the summer I was assigned a project to create 7 self portraits showing the 7 basic facial expressions; anger, happiness, sadness, contempt, fear, disgust and surprise. Each had to be done in a different medium.

For my angry self-portrait I used a mix or mediums, I used a bad quality photograph blown up on A4 to give it colour, then using a fine liner added in all the shading and detail. I finished it by adding my hair in with acrylic paint.

Surprise (Pencil - I probably could could have added some more shading to it give it more depth.)

Disgust (in biro)

Contempt (Acrylic paint)

Fear (charcoal)

Sadness (wax crayon)

Happiness (Plasticine)
