concentration #4

1.What suggestions will you use to demonstrate an obvious and purposeful use of the elements and/or principles? If this project were to be turned in to the College Board today it should be very clear what element or principle of art the work focuses on.
2.How can you create a more engaging design using one or more of the principles of art?
3.Do you feel that your work demonstrates your idea (concept) while also creating an effective design using the elements and principles of art? 
4.What did you try to do to create informed risk-taking within the parameters of the project? Think about what we have studied thus far in the year (this is where the artist should be moving beyond the basic mastery of concept and presenting the idea in a new way to take a risk).
5.Think about your personality and your personal vision for your artwork – what did you try to do that represents who you are through the parameters of this project (structure and the self-portrait)?

I added purple to enhance the other purple that was in my work. This was suggested in the critique. I focused on how I was applying the paint and what I was making through this loose process of applying the paint. I think I mainly focused on value by adding water to make lighter values with the ink and applying the ink straight to the paper to make darker values. Yes, it's a self portrait displaying an emotion. I added the newspaper and text. This was something I haven't tried but I think it makes a cool mechanical design.
