1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?

While browsing through online sources and galleries, these three stuck out to me. To me a lot of self portraits all have the same idea and principal behind them however these three are slightly more unique and tell a little more about the person in my opinion. 

2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?

I used a digital approach seeing as I have never done anything like that! I found a program online and played around with it a bit until I got the hang of it.

3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you 
overcome them?

It was difficult for me to find a way to add detail. I sketched on a side piece of paper to come up with ideas and did the best I could.

4. How does this piece represent you?

Well, Simply enough it is a direct representation of what I look like. I tried the best I could to give an overall feel to the viewer of how I feel I give off to others.

5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?

I used different forms of line for the most part. With using a computer texture was also easily applied and manipulated. Also the color background was used to give off an overall feel to the viewer and I chose the shirt color to contrast with the background.

6. Did you enjoy working on this project?

I found this to be slightly more difficult with the rest. I did enjoy it to a point, however would of liked to do something different.

7. What do you think of your final artwork?

I feel as although I still need some advancement in creating art. However, with what I have learned since the beginning of the semester I was able to use all that in creating perhaps a more valued art creation in this aspect and helped me understand ways to improve. Just need more practice!
