Here I changed the colours in the artwork into colours I have not use yet using digital editing. Green and yellow still represents who I am but in a different way.
Reflection
This week, I made self portraits while looking at what makes me who I am. My primary focus was on things I liked; colours, environments, shapes. I chose a pig because I think this animal represents myself. I enjoyed using different medium in conjunction with the relief printing technique to see what effect it would have.
