Design Cycle: Painting

PLAN 

I wanted to show some movement in the painting so i decided to put three different movements done by the girl separated by a line in order to spot the movement. Then I placed clouds to form some sort of unity in the painting. Although, this doesn't involve a lot of elements and principles of art. Aside from lines, shape, colour, movement and probably value. 

I decided to just merge the three girls together. I tried this first using tracing paper in order to see what it should appear as. Movement will be shown through the changing value in each movement. By doing this, I could insert a few other elements and principles and still having movement in the painting. 

My final piece would be this. I placed some perspective on the sketch by adding roads and putting the girl somewhere in the paper where it looks like it belong giving a sense of unity. The elements and principles of art that i'm gonna be using are lines, color, shape, value, perspective, movement, and unity.

Message: 

My print involves a girl who's in the rain expressionless and stationary.

For my painting piece, I want to do the opposite. I wanted to focus less on her face and more on her body language in order to tell her emotions. I want the girl dancing after the rain has passed and i want her to be more happy and less serious.
