Art Portfolio ONE: Project Statement

After some consideration and watched move created in Expressionism theme  “The Cabinet of Dr Caligari 1920” I chose that theme of my major project.

First idea was to take a 4 to 6 people of my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu team  then contact with they and ask to take a full length photos it will be serious expression photos will be included too torso upwards , head and shoulders, generally 360 degrees. Its perfect idea I could experiments with techniques , a could create drawings and painting experiments and finally create 4 to 6 paintings and 1 to 2 sculptures!

The second idea was given my by my teacher to do some experiments and use as a reference and inspiration techniques of drawing/painting used by Kathe Kollwitz the German Expressionist. This is the best idea ,I still struggle with some styles and techniques in other I have better results. I could make some paintings , drawings , sculptures it could help mi to find style where I can feel comfortable and maybe create my own style or add some ideas to my tattooing hobby.

One of techniques could be black and white lines as for example a added below:

Figure 14: Käthe Kollwitz, In Memoriam Karl Liebknecht (Gedenkblatt für Karl Liebknecht), woodcut print, 1920


I could to it using white on black or ink wash.


The next one I could draw using the willow charcoal as example below I leaving Kathe work:


Deutschlands Kindern Hungern 1924

Going forward I could make next one using the pencils and as inspiration I could use Kathe work:


Death and Woman by Käthe Kollwitz 1910.


Next one I could use an ink pens and use that one as inspiration:


Drinking Den 1901
