Idea- Study of a person? Mixed media. (1 Viewer)

[dizzyizzy]

Would like some opinions-
A collection of photographs, collages and drawings depicting the numerous aspects and qualities of my little sister.
I think it could be quite good if it encompassed a variety of emotions, sizes, mediums and techniques.
And quite convenient because she's a very close model hahah
Thoughts?

Edit: 2 photos-examples.

Man, she looks just like the chick out of 'Hard Candy'....

But anyway, i think it could be good, she looks like she could turn out some really interesting photographs/paintings, but you MUST be careful not to fall into cliche 'teenage style' photography/paintings. Discuss it with your teacher.

How were you thinking of putting it together in terms of the mixed media?

Holy crap, just read the plot summary of that....0__0
By cliche, are you referring to 'myspace-style' photos? Or something else?

I was thinking that both paintings, photos and drawings would be presented on a series of canvases....but I'm not solid on that yet.

I think it's a good idea. The use of mixed media shows how versatile you are as an artist. Especially if you are simply doing portraits of this one person but creating each artwork differently.

yea, like the sulky 'nobody understands my feelings' kind of teenage photos, they're too 2 dimensional, shouldnt be that hard to steer clear of.

do you mean putting multiple images on a single canvas (and having a few of these) or having one canvas per image?

 

[dizzyizzy]

I think one photo/drawing/collage per canvas...they probably wouldn't be too much bigger than A4~ proportions...

yea i like that idea a lot more than a couple of larger canvases, it can look a bit tacky in my opinion. What are you going to do about the drawings? drawing on canvas could be tricky.
