Acrylic Portrait Painting | Passion Project

For the last few weeks, we have been creating and finishing the projects that we have chosen to create for our passion projects. Our teachers have given us choices on what we wanted to do, they have told us to choose what we are passionate about or are interested in doing. I chose to do Visual Art because I am quite interested in painting and other forms of art. This slide shows and explained what I did for my passion project.

Workshop 4 - Hunger Games | English

Atmosphere - feeling/mood set in scene.

Mood - the way we feel/emotional response.
