-- QUESTIONS --
1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?
I selected the inspiration pieces because I wanted my portrait to look realistic but not too realistic. I also took inspiration of the strokes in the inspiration pieces. I like how they're well done but not super realistic.
2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?
I selected acrylic paint on a cork-like board to do my portrait. I chose acrylic paint because it is easy to blend and I feel comfortable painting with them. It is my favorite media to work with. I also added cloth to the background to add texture.
3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?
At first, I really could not get my face right. I had trouble trying to make it look like me because I did not copy the photograph of myself completely instead I took inspiration from my photograph. I had trouble perfecting my nose. I felt awkward creating a self portrait.
4. How does this piece represent you?
This piece represents me because it is definitely my style of painting. I like how I used the close in the background because it reminds me of my style.
5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?
Shape/form
Color
Value
Texture
Balance
6. Did you enjoy working on this project?
Yes! It was very hands-on and fun. I really enjoyed it.
7. What do you think of your final artwork?
I am not a huge fan of it, because I don't think I'm too great at art but I did try my best so I think I did pretty good for that.
