SELF PORTRAIT
Create a reflection journal on your Blog and answer the following questions:
1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?
I really like Vincent van Gogh and I think his portraits are kind of amusing. He looks so serious but look at his art caption. He takes different portraits in his different hats then titles the painting with the hat!Also as soon as you see his portrait you dont really have to even have to see a label with the artists name on it his technique is so specific in all of his paintings.
2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?
I love charcoal! I love messing around with it because i can erase it if I want to and I can shade easily with it.
3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them? I am a perfectionist and I didnt have tons of time to do this portrait so its eating me up inside how much it looks like a 10 yr old drew it. However I kind of like the way the face almost seems distorted not like an actual face but a character of one. Also the charcoal gets really messy and smuges a lot and if you lean on the charcoal it erases.
4. How does this piece represent you?
I like the photo so I like my drawing. It represents me because it is me! I tried (i hope i dont actually look like that) but I had a fun time creating a portrait that looks kind of funny.
5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?
Elements: I used line and texture for the hair, the color/value was black,
Principles: my eyes in proportion to my face are a tad bigger. The finished drawing is zoomed in compared to the photo used.
6. Did you enjoy working on this project?
I did enjoy it. At first I wanted to paint a nice self portrait but realized I was cut for time so I decided to sketch out my face first with pencil then go over with charcoal add some shading maybe some highlight here and there.
7. What do you think of your final artwork?
Its okay, is it my best no but I enjoy it!
