ART281 - Experimentation - Self Portrait

This is a self portrait created during a time of uncertainty, where emotions for everyone are running high. I feel as if this is reflected in my oil pastel artwork here, where I drew a self portrait of myself using a mirror and artistic liberties.

I really like the colour pallet I used in this artwork, and the overall mood that is created as a result of all elements brought together. After receiving feedback from peers, I was told that the artwork comes across as sad, with an overall feeling of dread. Relating this back to my project, I feel as if it really fits in with the expressionist attitude of representing emotion.
