SELF
PORTRAIT
DUE TUESDAY 3/11
The best subject to practice a portrait (from life) is yourself,
as it is comfortable to be meditative for a period of time on yourself as a
subject.
For this assignment, I want you to add in narrative information
to the drawing by changing the reflective surface in which you look to draw
your own portrait.
No mirrors. When drawing yourself, choose a different
reflective surface to look into for information. These surfaces could be, but are not
limited to:
1) Window
2) Television screen
3) Computer monitor
4) A drawing/painting that has glass in front
5) Display case
6) Webcam
7) etc etc etc
Think of what narrative information the reflective surface can
and will add, since you will be at times will be focusing on just seeing
yourself in the surface, but at other times will be noticing different
shapes/imagery that are being reflected upon/from your surface. Add other
visual information that you see fit to create a narrative in your
self-portrait.
The objective is to become more familiar with drawing the
head/shoulders of the figure, but also to reveal a story in your drawing.
Materials:
Good quality drawing/watercolor paper, AT LEAST 30"x22"
Any combination of materials
