Honesty of Poetry


This picture shows "teen angst." Poetry is used to express feelings and emotions towards something. Usually teens use poetry as an escape. Either they write about love or death. The emotion is true and they will always feel as strong about whatever they are writing about for the rest of their lives. But then again, teens are going through a lot, and later on in life they will think that THIS was challenging, whatever is happening to them right now. This picture shows the thoughts, expressions, and feelings of high school teenagers. Their thoughts are about either life or death. Love or hate. Different dimensions of writing and poetry make us different and set us apart from each other, and it also brings us closer together as human beings.
To make this picture I made the dimensions that were needed, then I chose a picture of a skull. At first it was oddly placed but then I added a picture, well a painting, of a heart shaped tree. I changed the layers so that the skull was in the front. Then I used the burn tool and added depth and shadows underneath the tree and around the skull. Next I used the text tool and added the title. It's a pretty simple picture, but it says a lot.
