Here are two self portraits of artists that I really like:Chuck Close and Andy Warhol
I choose these two artist but I like that style in which they work.
Andy Warhol has always thought outside the box and has has been very inspirational for me. Chuck Close as well has a very unwie style in which he paints that i find genius. I would like to somehow incorporate what they have done into my own self-portrait.

Pam, Great answers for your creating a self portrait assignment. I can tell you put a lot of thought into developing what you may want to do and the pictures from Chuck Close and Andy Warhol are both great examples for inspirations. Overall great blog, I like your layout just watch for spelling errors in your postings. Sounds like you're learning a lot about these programs we've been introduced to and are begginning to get more comfortable with using them for other assignments.
ReplyDeleteThe self portraits you choose to display, are very unique and offer an interesting way to view the artist. I agree, color is a great way to express different sides of you, and you can choose outfits to reflect this everyday. I like how art education shows up in many of these responses, as it shows you are really dedicated to the field.
ReplyDeletePam, I like the self portraits that you chose for this assignment. I can only imagine what your own self portrait would look like if you combined the styles of Warhol and Close. The link that you gave will definitely be useful in the future. There seems to be a lot of information on that site!
ReplyDeletePAM!!!!!!!! the self portraits are great. You used a wonderful mess of words to describe yourself. I enjoyed that. I also like the images you chose as well. lovely.
ReplyDeleteI like how you said that a self-portrait is a representation of your dreams. I never thought about it like that. That opens another dimension in ways you can express yourself in your art, that's really cool stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome that you know yourself so well that you can define yourself so clearly.
ReplyDeletePam, this is very engaging. I love it, I am very proud of you. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out.
