Before you begin, take a moment to think about what represents you as a person. Are you happy, bubbly, guarded, nostalgic, or angry? Do you love nature or are you a homebody? Where do you live? What is your favorite color, animal, food and/or city? With this reflection you will have a stronger concept of how you want to represent yourself in your final project.

Artist Statement:As artists having an artist statement is an incredibly helpful tool. Not only does it inform others of your intent, but it also gives you as an artist time to really think about what you were trying to communicate to your audience. It is a good time to reflect upon the decisions that you made during creation, both good and bad.
In this project you were asked to create a self-portrait through the lens of another artist. Although you were recreating something that has been done before, you were doing so using completely different mediums, as well as making decisions about what that particular piece says about you. Replacing the original image with yourself changed the way that someone would view the piece and I want to know what you were trying to communicate about yourself when you chose to place yourself into this particular artwork. Criteria:
o Who was the artist? o When did they live and work? o What artwork of theirs did you chose? o What was the original medium? · Photoshop tools: (Paragraph 2) o What tools did you use to recreate this image? o Where did you use them? · Self-Portrait: (Paragraph 3) o Why did you choose this particular artwork? o What does it say about you? o What are you trying to communicate to the audience about yourself? |
