SCANNED EMOTION

MY STATE OF MIND 

MAY 18,2014 

 My scanned emotion I was given was sanity. To the best of my abilities, I went and scanned my face displaying my emotion. Viewers will see that I am under a jacket a on my phone texting.

             

 When I viewed the photo via Paint Net the picture was in color. I then took my face and the sweater and shaded it black it way. This is an example of contrast. Noticed how I left my phone in color. Here I am emphasizing how my phone plays a vital role in my life. Now when you take a closer look there is a symmetrical balance between my face and phone unifying reality.

         

   In my opinion, I feel that the definition of this scan is fitting into society. The message of my artwork that in order to feel accepted, you have to follow certain behaviors and standards. Back in the early 90’s, being on your cellphone was considered an abnormal and obnoxious behavior. However now forward to 2014, people everywhere fast are on their phones either making calls, browsing the web and texting. This scanner will tell viewers that I’m a young man trying to be normal by following social standards.

           

  Do I feel that this piece is successful; I personally do feel that it is. If you observe closely or look through it through an abstract perspective you will notice that my project is presenting all elements of design. I feel that this project is created neatly because I am contrasting colors making it look good. In my heart and to my best abilities, I successfully translated the feeling, emotion and meaning of sanity into a Visual Representation.
