Which Face should I put on today

Visual Treatment: 

i) Art Movement: Street Art

ii) Reference Artist: Banksy

iii) Theme Chosen: Society and culture

iv) Idea & Concept: People tend to be fake when in front of different people. So, my artwork
shows the multifaces that people wear daily. Its a problem in the society today as we act as another person
in front of different people and as time passes, we start to lose ourselves. That's why this artwork is used to
create an awareness of how people should be true to themselves.

"Do not Judge"

iv) Idea & Concept: Humans have always a scheme on everything. But truth to be told, a book should never be judge based on its cover. That is why, this artwork shows the true colors of people despite the outer appearance carried by them and how people should get to know a person before assuming who they really are.

"See, hear, talk money"

Visual Treatment: 

i) Art Movement: Street Art

iii) Theme Chosen: Society and culture

iv) Idea & Concept: Money makes the world go round. In today's world, people are paid to shut up and act
as if nothing has ever happened. They are even willing to zip their mouth, eyes and ears just to have the
money. This is wrong. Inspired by the see, hear and speak no evil, this artwork aims to open the eyes of public that money should not be priority. Justice should

See, hear, talk money is the artwork I have chosen for my final artwork.

Art movement: Street Art
Reference Artist: Banksy

Original sketch: see, hear, talk money.

As usual, I redesigned it as the previous artwork was too simple.
I then used the [magnetic lasso tool] to select the areas I want.
Use the [lasso tool] to add and remove selection of areas.

shift + left click to add areas.
alt + left click to delete areas.

I chose brown color for the fur color as it suits the monkey more. 

I then did the same steps to color the money. Of course to define better the
shape of the money, I used to [brush tool] to repaint it's outline.

To do such detail work, it is best to zoom in closer.
CTRL + [-] to zoom out.
CRTL + [+] to zoom in.

The same steps were repeated for the hat. I used the [color picker] to select the color
i wanted.

I then paints the body and the eyes. and I added some [noise] to the picture.

I then added this texture to the painting.

The blending option i used was [multiply] and I adjust the opacity level to [75%]

The end result

my 2nd sketch: Do not judge

Firstly, I had to remove the colors I painted earlier on. So I used the
[clone tool] to erase the parts that I did not want.

Alt + leftclick to select the color.

Then i needed to recolor the clothes of the man. So i used the [magnetic lasso tool]
to select the area I wanted and painted it black with the
[brush tool]

I then used [lasso tool] to refine the selected area.
shift + left click to add area.
alt + left click to delete area. 

I did the same for the body and skin of the man. but instead of black, I used a darker brown.

I then refined the edges of the picture with the [brush tool] so it stands out more
clearer.

I then used the [magnetic lasso tool] again to select the shadow and colored
it with grey color using the [brush tool]. As you can see,
not all parts were selected so I had to use the [Lasso tool] to refine the areas
that I wanted.

Then I color the outlines of the shadow so it looks nicer.

The same steps were taken for the girl. But instead of grey color for the shadow, I used red.
and her dress and skin color were also different.

I then added this texture to the picture. 

And set the [blending options] to [multiply] with an opacity of [65%]

This was the end result

My original sketch: Which Face should I wear today

I redesigned it as it was too simple earlier on.

Firstly, I needed to color each mask with different colors, so I used the [magnetic  lasso tool] to  select the area I wanted
and then I used the [brush tool] to paint the color I wanted.

After that, the lines on the picture was not defined enough. So I used the [brush tool] again with  a smaller size of 3px
to paint the sides.

The I needed to paint the backdrop of the mask. Thus, I used the [Magnetic lasso tool] again to select the area I wanted.
I also used the [ Lasso tool] to refine the selected area.

Shift + left click to select the area you want.
Alt + left click to deselect the area you don't want.

then I used the [Brush tool] to paint the backdrop.

I repeated the steps for all 4 sides of the background and the masks. and changed the
opacity to adjust the colors. 

I then used black color on the [brush tool] in [linear burn] mode to paint the side of the picture
so it has a gloomy feel. 

Next, I selected this background and cropped it 16cm in width and 20cm in length

This is the result. And I added a [layer] to my painting. I then adjust the [Opacity] of this layer and set it to
[multiple] so that both the background and the picture will stand out.

Adjusting the opacity level 

The end result of my painting.

Series: Society and Culture

Art Movement: Street art

Introduction

I choose this series because I thought that our society and life style is something we should be concern about.

I mean, you see problems occurring everywhere. Poverty, hunger, bully, discrimination. All these problems are not only changing the way our society works, but also the way that we see others. How we are willing to close an eye while another person suffers. I find this very disturbing so I wanted to create certain artwork to open the eyes of the public. Just like that Banksy did. This isn't really targeted to any specific audiences but I feel it is something that needs to be lay out in the open for people to realise. 

Problem Statement

The reason I want to create such art is because I feel that these problems are not being address enough by the public. We see it happening yet there is no changes done. Even there is, it is not sufficient to remove it. Problems such as poverty, hunger, discrimination, racism are all obvious problems happening all around us yet there is practically no action taken to stop it. We may disagree to it but not doing anything about it does not make things any better. The reasons of why each artwork is created will be briefly explained later on while we go through the artwork. 

Purpose of Content

My main objective of creating such artwork of course is to raise an awareness of these things that are happening around us yet still slipping by our eyes. Each artwork have a different purpose and will be explain as we go through the artwork.
