The below images are three more examples of past responses to the Alternative Self-Portrait project.
In this one a student opened her purse and shot a photo of the contents. It created a very engaging image that has a full range of value and a wide range of information about her as an individual. A excellent response to the project.
In this drawing another student also elaborated on some of the things in her purse by arranging the contents in relation to the purse. She also added some embellishments, such as the decorative border.
Similar to the food magnification, this project will also be demanding of time and focus. However, it should move a little quicker since your drawing skills have sharpened from that previous experience. Also, particular to the project concept, some of the evolving processes should imbue the project with a stronger sense of identity, a stronger sense of self-identity. Have fun with it and if anyone wants to have a pre-crit, give me a holler.
Happy spring break!
