School Portfolio - How emotions influence memory

Bittersweet -Mixed Media (colored pencil, pen, marker & acrylic)

I designed this piece to represent a memory, the emotion I was trying to convey in relationship to this memory was bittersweet. With this piece, I wanted to explore how a memory can get distorted with distance and how feelings can change when you are living in the memory versus looking back on it.

Anxiety - Watercolor

This piece is meant to display a more general feeling, in this case anxiety. High contrast colors, vibrance, warped perspective, and butterfly symbolism are all tools I utilized to convey this feeling.

Surrealism - Chalk pastel

This work is also a personal memory. I once again attempted to explore a memory, this one much more distant than the first, and see how my perception of it has changed with age.

Depression - Colored pencil & marker

A representation of a universal emotion.
