Reviewing subject representation...

Representing the human face…

A visit to an exhibition may be motivated by interest in visual representations of a specific subject, such as the human form. Visitors could focus attention on the following…

Has the exhibit depicted a human face?

How has the artist concentrated attention on a particular angle or facet of the human face? Has the face been depicted in profile, or full-face, or in a three-quarter view?

Has the artist used a clearly defined tonal or colour scheme?

Has the artist emphasised particular textures?

Has the artist tried to depict particular character traits in the portrait?
