1.
Were there any qualities of line or colour that you were hoping
for us to explore in this activity?
This
art activity was definitely all about colour as an expressive
element. I did not intend anyone to use naturalistic colour
for these portraits,
I wanted some exploration of colour as a means of showing mood
and feeling.
2.
How do you feel the use of colour influences the mood of this artwork?
I
hope that the use of colour shows a kind of freedom and freshness
- like the art of small children who are not trying to use realistic
colour. Bright colour brings a sense of joy to art as well as
making you look at things in a new way.
3.
What, if any, emotions were you hoping for the
artworks to express?
The portraits were not intended to show any one emotion but
I guess they
are
definitely not sad and sombre - I would say they are fresh and
exciting
and
hopefully happy and fun.
