The in depth study I want to focus on for my concentration is the subject of emotion, specifically unhappy emotions. I will study the way a variety of human faces look when crying, morning, extremely distressed, melancholy, etc. and replicate the expressions through several different media. I like to utilize multiple mediums in my art, for this concentration I will use a combination of watercolor, acrylic, pen/colored pencil, collage, and perhaps digital art. Tone and color will work well to add symbolism to my set of pieces, I can use cool colors to express the depth of emotion or warm colors to put irony to the sorrowful nature of the work. A few things I plan to focus on are :
- The movement of tears down the face, focusing on the way a tear drop will move along the slight curvature and bone structure of a face
- Creasing and crinkling of eyes, lips, and eyebrows
- Empty expressions / extremely expressive expressions
- People of different races, body types, and ages, and how emotions look different / similar on unique people
- Using different medium to portray different feelings
