1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?
I selected these portraits as an inspiration piece because I felt like it has some of the qualities I want to put into my self-portrait. I also selected these because I loved how they all had a different type of background and showed different facial expressions.
2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?
I decided to use a pencil as my media because if I make a mistake I can easily erase it. Also because it is much easier to manage with.
3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?
The challenges I faced was trying to make sure I add every little detail that was in the picture I took.
4. How does this piece represent you?
This piece represents me because this is how I look on a daily basis if I decide not to leave my house. It also represents me because I am a stay in the house type of person and always like to feel comfortable.
5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?
The elements I used were shapes, space, value, and lines. The principles I used were movement, balance, and contrast.
6. Did you enjoy working on this project?
I actually enjoyed doing this project because it lets me know how far I came from the beginning of this class. My drawings had actually improved throughout the course.
7. What do you think of your final artwork?
I think my final artwork is pretty good. I put a lot of time and effort into this piece.
