Self-Portrait


3 inspiration pieces:




1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?
I selected the pieces that I did for inspiration because I really liked them.  I didn’t copy their work and two of them were photographs but I really enjoyed looking at the work and at the way the people are portrayed in the pictures.

2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?
I chose to draw with pencil.  It is much less messy than charcoal and you can erase with a pencil, which is a bonus :)

3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?
I am awful at drawing so I literally just kept trying to copy the picture as closely as possible and it still didn’t really work out for me.

4. How does this piece represent you?
I don’t really know how this picture represents me.  Maybe with my glasses, but I don’t have to wear them all of the time.  Also, my hair is curly in this picture and it is usually straight.  I just liked this picture of me.

5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?
I used emphasis when I darkened in certain parts and line.

6. Did you enjoy working on this project?
I did enjoy working on it.  I tried my best even though it maybe isn’t my best work artistically.

7. What do you think of your final artwork?
I think it’s okay, I guess.  I don’t really think it looks like the picture but I tried and I enjoyed myself while creating this work.
