Portrait Drawing - Grade 8

I enjoy looking at past projects that I have completed.  In grade 8, I had to choose a famous person that I admired.  Research my chosen famous person and complete a portrait using colour to reflect this person's personality.

In planning the main idea I wish to communicate and the artistic decisions I had made to support my choice of colour, I wrote the following description:

"I did my portrait on Britney Spears.  I made her lips green, because it shows that she is young.  I chose peach skin colour for her skin, because it shows that she is sweet, because when you eat the fruit, peach, it taste sweet.  Her cloth is bright orange, because it shows that she have a bright and happy personality.  Her hair go from yellow to brown, because when she first started her career she isn't really steady, but now she is really steady and she makes a lot of money.  The background is colourful, because she have a colourful personality.  And the flower shows that she is girly."

I made no typos during the re-typing of the above description which was written by yours truly in Grade 8.

I was unable to find my completed colour portrait of Britney Spears so you have to satisfy yourself with my rough sketch of Britney Spears and my completed colour portrait of my mother.
