1. Why did you select
the inspiration pieces?
I thought that they were interesting self portraits.
2. Why did you select
the media to create your self-portrait?
I selected sketching with sketching pencils and colored
pencils to fill in the color because I enjoy using them. I enjoy trying out different shades of colors
to create one color.
3. What challenges
did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?
The challenge I had was trying too hard to make my sketch
perfect. I find that if I just go with
my first few sketches it seems more realistic.
I tried to stop myself from constantly erasing and redrawing.
4. How does this
piece represent you?
I think this piece represents me as peaceful and content.
5. What elements and
principles of art did you apply in this work?
I tried to mix and layer colors to create a more realistic
hair color. I also tried to create a
realistic proportion of my eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows and fingers.
6. Did you enjoy
working on this project?
I did enjoy working on this project. I am finding that I miss drawing and
sketching. I am glad to be doing some of
that creative stuff again.
7. What do you think
of your final artwork?
I am semi-satisfied with my finished work. I wish I could have figured out how to make
realistic curls like in the photograph.
