Propaganda Portrait

For my in-depth project I drew Gordon Ramsey as an admirable portrait using white and black charcoal. The left portrait is the admirable and the piece on the right is the propaganda portrait depicting a workplace bully. I had a lot of fun with this project considering that I highly admire Gordon Ramsey.

FIU Frost Museum

Lewis Hine's "Little spinner in mill" shows a young girl in a mill factory. By observing the piece, you can see the mess on the floor and you can depict that the girl was working in poor working conditions and how dangerously close she is to the machines. You can even see that her shirt is stained and worn out from her working in the factory and by the look on her face I wouldn't guess that this was a dream job of hers.

The Rhinoceros from Durer to Stubbs 1515-1799

I prefer Durer's woodcut compared to Burgkmair because to me it had more exaggerated features making the rhinoceros more unique and interesting to the eye. Durer also had studied armor in which you can see the influence from that in the woodcut giving the rhinoceros a remarkable appearance.

I really like the olive-green chiaroscuro woodcut of Durer's rhinoceros because there is an extensive amount of detail in it. I can see a lot of sharp marks as well as soft marks that have been made in the piece. Because Durer was influenced by amour, I can also see how the plates on the rhinoceros show a lot of similarity to that of Durer's influences. I can also see an exaggeration on the rib cage and how it resembles like the pegs in an umbrella giving the rhinoceros a striking appearance.
