This project, at points was somewhat a challenge for me. I have never done a piece like this before and often in self portraits I tend to focuse a lot of my attention to the details. I had to challenge my self in blurring the image of my face. It helped as we edited the picture we took and was able to blend it and switch it to black and white. I think that with this final, in the end, I was able to figure it out and work with the charcoal successfully by blending the different shades together to capture the elements of the picture and in the assignment.

For my final project I used oil pastels to capture my facial expression accurately. This final achieved the goals that were set for this project by using colors that were able to express my emotions in the picture on paper. The color variation adds emotion and movement.
