I selected these pieces because they were all beautiful to me. I looked at the images and saw beautiful women pictured and it gave me the inspiration to use them in my final project.
2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?
I used charcoal pencil on my sketch pad because it was easier to detail the drawing than painting would be.
3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?
I had a hard time re-creating the details of my face. I have always struggled with self-portraits. It never copies the same and never looks like the same person (haha). I did my best to
4. How does this piece represent you?
The picture was taken when I didn't have any makeup on. I have dark circles under my eyes. It's the definition of finals week. I am exhausted from work and school yet I am getting through each day. I am working harder than I ever have. I am proud of this self-portrait.
5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?
Balance: The portrait needs to be somewhat symmetrical due to being a drawing of a face.
Line: Crosshatching is seen slightly within this drawing.
Shape: The outline of the face. Height and width are difficult to be measured in this form.
Proportion: Eyes need to face the same direction, mouth and nose should be centered, outline of face should be well proportioned.
6. Did you enjoy working on this project?
This project was enjoyable. It's nice to be hands on sometimes. it brings out creativity and relaxes the mind.
7. What do you think of your final artwork?
My final artwork was a trial and error. Many mistakes made, erase marks, and frustration. However, I thought it was an innovative and fun idea to wrap up the semester.
