Assignment 3:

My Adobe Illustrator piece will consist of portraits. The portraits will be changed and distorted to create an abstract piece, similar to the pieces created by William Utermohlen, the artist mentioned in my proposal.

I will create the piece using a portrait I have drawn in the past, using pencil. The scanned image will be put into Illustrator and made into a simplified face, as we did in Week Four of class. I will then lay over other shapes and colours to distort the face, and make the face almost unrecognisable. This will assist in linking in the piece with the concept and emphasising the idea of ‘lost identities'. 

Potential drawings to be transformed:

After using Illustrator in week 4 (creating the image below), I would like to use similar techniques to distort the portraits; using colours and changing the lines.
