Cinque Portrait

In the art piece that I created, it represents a visual of one of Science Leadership Academy  Beeber students; Jhakur Hall. It portrays him on the soccer field with a ball and goal net in the distance. He is pointing to his jersey number “15” to distinguish hom from his teammates. I wanted this piece to in some form communicate the community of our SLA soccer team, by displaying one of its’  players. I made the piece very simply by just a led pencil and four colored pencils. To be completely honest, this someone aligns with my other pieces as being finished just before set due date. I was not necessarily inspired by a painting artist, but rather sport photographers. The way they photograph athletes after, or during games made we want to cultivate such images. I experimented with detail in this project. Especially regarding the leg muscles, I tried to make it as accurate as possible. Such legs turned out to be my proudest depiction in my work. Included in my success of the art is how I looped around my weakness of drawing faces, so drawing the back of a head was so much easier, and a lightbulb moment. In reflection of my project, I would want to change the open space (or background) of my art piece. Next time maybe include field grass or other players. During this project I learned that portraits are not always, just a fact, but rather a representation of a perspective or opinion of something.
