Week 5 Elemental

Week 5 was my choice and I decided to go more along the lines of experimentation as opposed to research.  The premise was to do a self portrait but depict yourself as an elemental that you saw best fit for your personality.  After some deliberation I went with wind. Sometimes I'm calm, sometimes I'm in a flurry, most of the time I'm easy going.  I reeeeeeally wanted to put wind turbines in the picture to help with the "wind" theme. I loooooove me some wind turbine! I also couldn't resist the use of clouds.

 I ended up experimenting with color and media. I knew I wanted the lighting to depict a sunset...I felt it would reference my orange hair. Also, I wanted the warm lighting to contrast with blues which i normally feel embody "air." The piece over all is really interesting. I like the contrast and I loooove the oranges! I thought the lighting came across really well.....The scanner, on the other hand, tore the piece to shit.....Allll them colors have been destroyed. Good Job scanner >:/. I promise the piece is so much cooler in person! Where did all the orange go...you might ask. The scanner ate it.
