Assignment 3 - Emotional Illustration
EMOTIONAL ILLUSTRATION
I don't usually expose how I really feel to the outside world, but it took great courage for me to do it here, on my assignment knowing there will be people who will see it.
I wrote my own poem. The enjambment in the poem shows how broken I feel inside. This poem is a free verse poem where it shows how messed up my life is.
I drew this when I couldn't function. it shows how the inside of my brain couldn't function and its like a never ending labyrinth and it has no end point.
I developed my ideas further and drew a skull, and two faces, all three facing at different side. The skull represents how dead I feel inside and it is devouring me from the inside. The face in the middle has slight distortion and it show how I'm going through a hard time right now. the face, facing the right side shows how I have to conceal all my feelings and put up a mask for the rest of the society to see because explaining to them has no more point; they won't understand.
In my semi-final, I chose a girl crossing her legs, curled up, covering her face, drowning. This painting represents how I feel from the inside. How I'm drowning in my own thoughts and going back to square one where I have lost all confidence and securities in myself. In my first stanza for my poem "to get over this and forget it all and move on and I thought I was getting to the point where I could say "now I'm feeling a lot better for myself" but right now I couldn't feel any worse"
The colours around and on the girl shows the mask I put on for the outside world to see because no one will think that a girl this loud and cheerful would feel this way.
For this assignment, I used palette knives to paint on the girl to get the texture and the visible stroke of colours I mixed on top. The contrasting colours shows how my personality on the outside is different from the inside where I feel every negative feelings about myself.
