Portraits of Life

I learned portrait yesterday in Arts class. We are required to did 3 self portraits, first one as draft, second one as expression and last one is dramatic lighting. It's a terrible thing to have to stare at yourself in the mirror for 5 houes. First, you have to look at an ugly person for 5 hours. You have to admit that you are ugly and lastly, have to put that down to paper to make everyone else realize that you are ugly.

These are a few pieces I did this week.

The mask
Expressionless. The face without any emotions to lie about how we feel. This is a self portrait of myself in 30 minutes. It's the mask we wear everyday to lie about the world how we feel. This is my mask that you see everyday...

Doubt
The face of anger, of disgust, of surprised, of doubt...

Meet Kevin
Just in time for Halloween, we are introduced to the skeleton. Meet my new friend, Kevin. Nate called it Mr.Skeleton but I think the name is so not creative. Hence, Kevin :)

Journey to Fairytown

Once upon a fall...
The sun shines through the trees,
and the stairway leads us to heaven
The color turns
And we start to see...
mountain top,
boundariless mixed of land and colors,
the rocky road,
We hide behind rocks
and seek the lakes reflection of the sky.


We let our eyes go as far as they can.
Farther
And nearther
Until the sea shines a vividly blue

To where the man becomes insignificant in front of nature
to the creek
farther
It seems to never end
Birds become white dots
Until we reach the deep blue sea
shining drops of sun light
playfully hit their waves to the shore
We saw rocks that pierce the sea
together they play an extravaganza
We see nature even in our artificial things
or together with it
Water that turns to dream like mist
bridges that cross reality and dreams
moss that grows to fill the dead and cold grey rocks
Lights that reflected through the yellow dying leaves
We saw footsteps of fall, yellow, vivid and shining
We saw the lonly chair knocked over with its shadow spread along the prairie
We saw leaves that turned
We saw leaf that fell
And we saw the last glorified moment of the sun
Before it gave in to the night
The rock filled with a sorrowful cast of yellow
And there we say goodbye to happily ever after...
