Art Term 3 Portrait

22.08.18

An Incomparable portrait souvenir has been STOLEN!!!

A day ago my artwork was stolen and snatched from its place without the frame. Displayed on the front surface of the page is a print of my past self and how I portrayed myself to look back then. Centred in the middle of the page slightly more to the right is where the head of my body on the Artwork is. Below the head is a polka dotted jersey with slightly more shadowing to the right and rough little linocuts on the left. Interfering with the polka dot jersey on the right is my long dark brown hair that carries right on till it reaches the bottom of the surface.

In the linocut, I have cut deeper in the left to help show the contrasting of the lightness and darkness on both sides. As I have cut deeper on the left I have made sure to do light little cuts on the rights side to make sure that the left stands out more and to help make it obvious where shadowing is. On the right side, you may not be able to notice the eye without the two slight little cuts I have made making sure I am outlining the eyeball without cutting too much away.

Without blending my picture into the background I have cut at least 1cm away from the linocut to make sure the outlines are still visible to the eye and so that you are still able to pick out each detail without ruining it. I have also cut at the top of the picture a nice vibrant cloud and small and deep cuts to show lots of different context in the clouds. I hope you are able to find my portrait because it would mean a lot.
