Tango

Another way to show emotion in an artistic way, is dancing, and the most passionate of all dances hs to be the tango, a mixture between the music and the fluid motions, the feelings behind the dance are made apparent from start to finish.

As I could not find any live performances near me I could photograph as primary research, I instead watched videos of performances online and paused the video in certain places to show the poses of the dance and draw which one I thought had an appealing expression to them, and also shows the feelings behind the performances.

I used a water soluble pen to draw the image out and watered the image to give a contrast between the foreground and background an draw out the detail and focus on the features of the subjects and show the expression to help connect to the passion of the performance.

Vision

The theme for the year’s first project is 'Vision'.

I have interpreted this into the visual representation of an emotional state.  Using an artistic and psychological mixture to depict the expression someone or something displays, whether it is facial expressions, body language, or a mixture of the two.

Emotions are somewhat a cryptic behaviour, the scientific method of describing them would be to say that different chemical reactions cause us to act in different ways, but can also be explained with many psychological theories.

here is a list of emotions:

Affection, Anger, Angst, Anguish, Annoyance, Anxiety, Apathy, Arousal, Awe, Boredom, Confidence, Contempt, Contentment, Courage, Curiosity, Depression, Desire, Despair, Disappointment, Disgust, Distrust, Dread, Ecstasy, Embarrassment, Envy, Euphoria, Excitement, Fear, Frustration, Gratitude, Grief, Guilt, Happiness, Hatred ,Hope, Horror, Hostility, Hurt, Hysteria, Indifference, Interest, Jealousy, Joy, Loathing, Loneliness, Love, Lust, Outrage, Panic, Passion, Pity, Pleasure, Pride, Rage, Regret, Relief, Remorse, 

Sadness, Satisfaction, Self-confidence, Shame, Shock, Shyness, Sorrow, Suffering, Surprise, Terror, Trust, Wonder, Worry, Zeal, Zest 

(all emotions have hyper-links to Wikipedia description)

Trying to interpreter the emotions will prove both difficult and interesting, but hopefully I will be 

able to effectively represent them in a distinct fashion.

During the course of the future projects I will be staying to my strengths and for the majority of the time will be drawing and painting, but I will also attempt to use a wider selection of different mediums.
