The Sun is Brighter On The Other Side

My Picasso Painting is called,”The Sun is Brighter on The Other Side”. I chose this name because that phrase has to do a lot with my painting. Which also represents my face how it has two sides to me. How one side is brighter than the other. In this piece I am going to talk about the elements of design, which is how color, lines, shape and texture affect my Picasso piece. I’m also going to describe what tools I used and what programs I used as well. What emotions, mood, and what the meaning of my piece is.

The elements of design that I used are line, color, shape and texture. In other words describes the dominate features in my work of art. I used color a lot in my portrait because I feel that different colors represent different emotions as well. For example on my right side of my face I used a lot of bright colors. I used hot pink because for me that represents a really happy and outgoing mood. I also used yellow because it represents all the achievements I have received.

On the left side of my face I put more like depressing colors. A lot like the blue period. I wanted to give my portrait that feeling of a depressing and all the sad moments I have gone through. One of the lines I used is on the right side of my chest. It’s a dark line which represents my birthmark, which runs in my whole family.

My Portrait is eight by ten. The program I used was Photoshop in my multimedia class. Photoshop is a really good program to use when you want to work with pictures. Or in other words to create a Picasso Painting. In order to create my unique Picasso Painting I used the color template, which allows me to look and chose any color I want. Some other tools I used that came in handy were, brushstrokes, the round angle low, the soft round brush, and color swatches. Each one of this tools helped me create special features and create texture as well in my painting. Some of the colors and tools helped me create my Picasso Painting.
The mood that I put in my painting was sad and depressing. But at the same time I put a happy and calm mood as well. For instance I wanted to show the two sides of me. The left side of my face represents all the sad moments and all the tough obstacles I had to go through. Its almost like I’m walking a path way on my face. Each thing leads and leads to other moods and moments. The right side of my face shows all the nice and good moments I enjoyed in life. In a way I wanted to confused the mood for a moment in my painting. I kind of wanted to mix the blue period and the rose period as well.
This was my most successful piece I ever created because I really brought who I was to the painting. I believe it carry's my whole life story in a way. I also got to express my feeling through art. I really understood how Picasso would just put paintings together by what he went through or felt. I actually put all my effort and took my time on my Picasso Painting.

Assignment #5 Elements and Principles of Design

The basis of all design is the arrangement of the elements of a work of art, using the design principles.
