I made this choice board thinking about my sustained investigation - I want to make a piece where the subject is monochromatic, but the background is not. Although I want to make the subject take up most of the picture so that the background is not very noticeable. The first image is my own edit of a photo of myself - the second photo I found on Pinterest which inspired me to want to make a monochromatic portrait.
I love the monochromatic focus for the subject. I think that would carry over well to 2D mediums. I also like the idea of a colorful, busy background versus a monochromatic subject. I think it creates lots of movement around the figure until the eyes finally land on the figure itself.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. I like the way you used color to emphasize the subject of the piece.
ReplyDeleteI am in complete agreement with Rachel and Ava, Gabriella! So much meaning and content can be infused into a series exploring figure/ground relationships using color as a device for selective emphasis. Keep exploring this concept!
