No pride

 

Materials: braiding hair, acrylic paint , canvas , jean fabric and African print material, brushes

Process: 1) I took a picture of a girl to use as my reference 

2)I made a grid on the picture.

3)I made grids on my canvas and drew the picture 

4) I painted the body with an acrylic brush 

5) I used a foam brush to paint the background for texture 

6) I hand braided all the hair and glued it on the head of my picture 

7) I glued pieces of fabric on the background 

How this relates to my SI

This picture shows how the girl tries a different hairstyle that hides her Afro hair which goes with the pride she has in her African heritage and she is more comfortable in wearing western clothes rather than her African print. The pieces of fabric on the background shows how she had beautiful fabric around her but she doesn’t want it on her.
