society, politics & cultureIn this project, we were given a selection of people to choose from to create portraits. My first choice was David Tennant as he's well known and a lot of my friends had watched Doctor Who growing up. Although I never watched the series, I had a fun time trying to come up with different portraits to showcase Tennant with aspects of Doctor Who. My second portrait is Rosetta Tharpe, a rock 'n' roll musician who was an inspiration to Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley. What intrigued me about her was that it always looked like she was happy even outside of doing music, I wanted to showcase the love she had for music. My last portrait goes in a different direction (negative). Indira Gandhi was the reason a lot of Sikhs died and for that I wanted the portrait to showcase the blood that was on her hands.
