Slide 1

Using symbolism

Slide 2

You are to draw a self-portrait. A self-portrait is an image of you. It is to show two sides of you. Both sides are to be shaded using a shading technique of your choice and must show by direction of shadows a light source. It must show your personality besides looking like you. You will draw one side as realistically as you can (recall how we went over how to draw facial features the the proportions of the human face). You will then draw the other half as abstractly. A whole realistic face in monochromatic with added abstractions and items to represent and say something about oneself. Something like this will be acceptable since it is not just a face and boring looking. The abstract side is to show something about you and has to be in color. The realistic side must be in black and white or monochromatic. It can show your hobbies and interests and/or it cab show something about your personality.

Slide 3

The choice of what you want to say is yours. You must use symbolism to represent yourself in some form or matter. Do not forget colors have meanings. So be aware of the colors you choose to use. When you are done you are to write a paragraph of at least 6 sentences explaining your choices of what you did in your self portrait. This is a final so It will count as 200 points and part of 60% of your grade as a project averaged in with all the other projects this semester. When you turn it in it should have a rubric and a paragraph attached to the back. Mediums of choice are: pencil or ink pen and colored pencils or oil pastels. It must be on the 11 by 14 inch paper. No paints or chalk pastels this time. If you wish to add collage and use glue or even try and use cardboard to create depth this is allowed. But the realistic half of the drawing must be drawn in black and white or monochromatic. Most of all be creative. I do not want straight on boring looking faces or cartoony like faces. You all are quite capable of drawing a bit better this semester so show it off!
