Semester 2 : Emotion in Posture and Pose

 These pictures in this set are in the theme of ‘Emotion in posture and pose’ which is evident in the artists work. In the first two pictures I can see that the artist has really managed to capture the emotions that the model was portraying. This shows that the artist had the basic anatomical knowledge which they used when drawing the model’s figure from their perspective and thus from that and their successful show of gesture and mood enabled them to capture the emotion being shown in the different forms of the body in each of the drawings. For example the artist has managed to portray stress, fear and shock in the figures labelled accordingly.  

A similar thing can be said for the third drawing where the artist has used their anatomical knowledge and their observational skills the capture the model’s emotion. Here the artist has also used foreshortening to get the realism on the anatomy from their perspective. This is most evident in the left wrist and in the majority of the right arm. There is also a usage of a strong line which helps create a focus point just where the right bicep meets the left breast.
