1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?
- I selected the inspiration pieces due to the artwork being of interest to me. The artists I chose are well known for practicing and creating self-portraits. Therefore I wanted to choose pieces that posses history and depth.
2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?
- The main reason why I selected the media to create my self-portrait was since I knew it would be the most distinguishable. I didn't want to ruin an image with paints and/or pencil since I am not the best at free hand drawing. Which is why I wanted to edit in a collage form.
3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?
- Some challenges I faced in creating my self-portrait involved trying to take a picture of myself that I was pleased with since I am not photogenic. I also struggled with creating something that represents a self-portrait from going back and forth with backgrounds, textiles, etc. I overcame these challenges by taking multiple photos of myself and then just choosing one, as well as the media I chose. Having just played around with various formats an settling on the ones that I was pleased with.
4. How does this piece represent you?
- This piece represents me since I believe it defines my circumstances at the moment. Being stuck at home as if locked up due to COVID-19, representing the black lines behind the photo. Along with adding options that played into my silliness, such as the light, blush pink background, leave stems and heart mustache.
5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?
- Some of the elements of art I applied to my work includes lines, color, shape and space. Some of the principles of design I included involves contrast, emphasis, pattern and unity.
6. Did you enjoy working on this project?
- I did enjoy working on this project since I was able to be creative. I was able to be creative with implementing things that stuck out to me. I also was able to be silly when creating my work due to wanting to establish a specfic mood and space I am in at the moment.
7. What do you think of your final artwork?
- I am pleased with my final artwork. I enjoyed creating the work by playing around with various tools and establishing something beautiful. I really enjoyed adding the contrast and saturation to the piece, which adds character and life.
