Self Portrait

3 Inspirational Portraits:

PORTRAIT OF MOMPER, NOT DATED by anthony van dyck, etching

PORTRAIT OF D.M. FROM THE PORTFOLIO NINE PRINTS, 1967 by Carol Summers, 

My Original Photograph

My Finished Self Portrait

1) I selected the 3 inspirational portraits because I thought they were different from a typical portrait.

2) I selected the media I used for my portrait because I thought it was a unique way to create it.

3) The challenge I faced in creating my portrait is that I am not very good at drawing or painting. I overcame this by using a computer to create my portrait.

4) I feel this piece represents me because it is rather different. The city background also represents me.

5) I feel I used shading to create an emphasis on my body by darkening the surrounding background.

6) I did enjoy working on this project.

7) I think my self portrait is well done because it is a little different then a typical portrait.
