Abstract Emotion

When I work with pastels, I am reminded that I can smear and add a lot of effects to the drawing using my hands and a wet paper towel. My favorite materials and tools is both my fingers and my pastel. Then I added my ideas onto the sheet using a sharpie. Then I add different colors to illustrate the emotions. That was pretty hard because I didn't know what emotion was supposed to look like in abstract form so I just added a ton of different colors together. 

The best thing I did was the colored eyes below. It's okay if you can't really see it. There are a lot of crazy emotions below and I am proud of all of them. It showed the different shapes wanting to get out. I know when a piece comes out right when some one asks me: Is that supposed to be abstract?" and question it. But to me, as long as it falls under the moving category, it works! My favorite colors were the light faded colors and as you can see, I used them to my advantage.

I know a piece is done when I can step back and look at all of the work I did. I also can look at my work and have a sigh of relief because I see what I am capable of. When my work is going well, I am filled with a sense of relief. When people see my work, I'd like them to see my hard work and give me their comments.
