Corona Thoughts

6" x 8"

The story behind this piece is about the thoughts that not only myself but my friends and family have about corona. This project relates to my life because Corona is very relative right not and very present in all of our lives. It is making everybody nuts and depressed at the same time.

At first I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. So I thought of all of the portraits I done, and they are all mostly realistic. So I decided to make another blind contour themed drawing. What I did was, I sketched it out on a piece of paper with a 4H pencil. I then colored it in with water colors trying to add different shades and color differences in the face relating to corona. So I mostly used green and different shades of green. I then added pink in the background to contrast with it.

I made this project with the objective in mind that I wanted to focus on color and contrast to answer my inquiry question. I would say that I achieved this goal but not to the extent that I really wanted to. I think my portrait includes texture and movement. It shows the movement with the words that we think of. . If I were to do this project again, I would probably add more shades and make it look more realistic.
