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 image, a student who confessed to having a strong attraction to shoes, took a photo of some of her shoes pouring out of her closet.
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!
It should be vey interesting to see the different

technique/media choices. Can't wait to see them!
So far this assignment is my favorite. I tend to get bored easily while working on repeated segments of a drawing. There are so many different things going on in this drawing it certainly keeps my attention. It may not be much to look at but it is fun to draw.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with the statement that this will move along quicker. Somehow I always manage to include something so incredibly difficult! The shag carpet and beads are driving me nuts!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you, Stephanie, shag carpeting is TOUGH! However, I know you'll persevere and that it'll be a way-cool image. Take Jennifer's cue and look at it as "fun", because if you enjoy your subject, it won't feel so "incredibly difficult." I'm looking forward to seeing all of the different subjects and approaches. It'll be an interesting critique.
