Directions:
- Create a self-portrait of yourself by either drawing a self-portrait, painting a self-portrait, or creating a collage about who you are.
- If you choose to draw or paint your self-portrait
- Using your sketchbook, draw or paint a self-portrait
- The self-portrait should fill the majority of your page.
- If you choose to create a collage about yourself
- You will completely cover a page from your sketchbook with images and words that tell who you are
- This will be your expressions of your identity: personal, religious, cultural, etc.
- Use images of things that make up your physical life
- Overlap the images so that you cover the whole surface of the paper.
- None of the background paper should be visible.
- Photograph or scan your self-portrait and submit your assignment on D2L in either .jpg or .pdf.
You will be graded on effort, not artistic skill.
