The Sun is Brighter On The Other Side

My Picasso Painting is called,”The Sun is Brighter on The Other Side”. I chose this title 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. 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.
