The artwork I chose to draw is about changing identity. Small details in the photo show how true identity does not change. The girl in the photo is getting married as seen by the engagement ring and faint outline of her dress hanging in the background. A cross hangs from her neck representing how some of her identity is changing but her faith in Christ is steadfast. I also chose to blur her face because so much of our identity is seen in "putting on their face" with make up when really it's on the inside that counts; faith. Faith is a very important aspect of my life which is why I chose this interpretation. In my piece I used a media of pencil in order to display my desired effect. This media allowed for a more realistic looking person in my drawing.I used the pencil to highlight the aspects of identity such as the cross and the blur over her face. The dress was able to be faded into the background and show the woman is a bride without making it too dramatic. I was able to add value and bring the drawing from flat to 3 dimensional. I also included text around the handle of the mirror. This text helped convey identity and the points I was trying to make through my artwork. It almost worked as a caption to my work. I believe the media I used was the best way to capture identity.
