Personal Investigation Proforma

Theme: Emotion

The theme that I have chosen for my personal investigation is emotion. I wanted to focus on the use of colour to show emotion in people and backgrounds or maybe different settings.




I feel as though my artistic strengths are painting and drawing. I found that in my first year my charcoal drawings were particularly strong in my work. I really enjoyed using lots of colours in my work in my first year which is why I wish to continue that with my personal investigation.


I think that I would like to try using more oil paint and watercolour this year, and perhaps try different textures and mediums with my work.

Influences, Research, Sources and Ideas

I was thinking of looking at expressionism, figurative art, and abstract art.


Some of the artists that I have found so far that I am interested in are Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Edvard Munch and Pablo Picasso.
