The artwork I chose to critique is called Bob Marley. The portrait was drawn by Hoang Huy and the medium is graphite. The artist used elements and principles of design such as contour lines and value. There is a lot of shading in the piece and that creates a shadow, this makes i feel more realistic. I notice a little texture created by cross hatching also. The story behind the art is the happiness and peaceful life that Bob Marley lived. The portrait is of Bob Marley laughing and smiling, and the artist says they want to bring that happiness to the world also. The theme is most definitely happiness. The artist was very succesful in expressionism. By drawing a portrait of Bob, he shows us exactly how he wants to make other feel, full of happiness, inner peace, and joy. I can clearly see the artists emotion by looking at their artwork.
