art movement and self portrait

WEEK 5 - ART MOVEMENT AND SELF PORTRAIT

The art movement that I have chosen for my self portrait is Art Nouveau. Art Nouveau appeared during 1890s in Europe. Typically using the arabesque, the floral or animal pattern and the feminine silhouette. So at first, I chose my favourite daisy to draw on the bottom of the paper, but why not the centre? Because it will block my face. Then, I drew my face in side view because I refered to the famous pieces, women are drew in different view or poses. Last, I added on the frame with a typically arabesque pattern to make it more likely to the Art Nouveau. You can see that I also colored the background in beige tone, these are parts of the Art Nouveau.
