Margaret, excellent job simplifying the subtle tonal variations of the skin colors into flat simplified planes/fragments. Repeating these different values in the geometric background shapes creates unity in the work and keeps the background from feeling forgotten. I almost want to see a follow-up to this idea, where the woman or subject is beginning to disintegrate or appears to be shattering or splintering. Maybe a theme to explore-loss of identity/cohesive sense of self/disintegration of self due to isolation in the pandemic? Or, perhaps you could shift the scale of the fragments in the background and address issues related to depth/perspective making some smaller and suggesting a recession of space/depth in the picture plane.
This is incredible Margaret! I love how you incorporated the blue color, but only subtly because it draws our eye towards that specific color. This makes me think of your sustained investigation topic of isolation, and the color blue for sadness. I know you like working with other things besides photoshop, so maybe even making a portrait with geometric shapes and hints of blue with a different medium could be cool.
This is amazing! I like how you blocked the different colors of the girl together and also incorporated it into the background. I also like how you emphasized the shadow on her face with the blue :)

ReplyDeleteMargaret, I love how you put triangles of all of the colors in the background to pull all of the neutral tones and blue together!
