''Portraits are works of art that record the likenesses of humans or animals that are alive or have been alive.''
During the lesson, we have been talking about the beginnings and the evolution of portraits. We looked at some of the most famous portraits, made by: Edvard Munch's ''The Scream''1893, Vincent Van Gogh's self portrait 1885 or Pablo Piccaso's portraits made in the unique cubist style.
We also had a closer look at some of the abstract expressionist portraits:
- Willem de Koonig ''Woman'' 1944
- Francis Bacon, "Head VI" 1949
- Jenny Saville ''Plan'' 1993
After the research, we've been making portraits in the studio with the help of lights and shadows. Our main task was to show the character of the person in the photo.
