26. GOALS
to create an actual sandwich that describes YOU
to create a conceptual/ symbolic self-portrait in the
form of a sandwich
to create a “key” to help the viewer understand the
layers in your sandwich
to create a strong, accurate, colorful drawing from
observation
merge concept and execution

27. HOW DO I BEGIN?
List the things you like to eat
Match those things up with qualities- these qualities
should correspond to who you are, or what your life
is like- be descriptive
Brainstorm ideas- list, draw, write-- and lastly, create
a “key” with descriptors

28. PROCESS
Brainstorm, create key
Thumbnail sketches- include environment, leading
lines of direction, color, shapes, etc.
Bring all materials needed to create your sandwich
on Monday
Draw! Look! Observe! Relate! Reflect!

29. THINGS TO CONSIDER
How can you use your ingredients as leading lines of direction?
How can the environment strengthen your concept?
What “pose” will your sandwich be in?
Are you an organized, neat eater, or a messy, disorganized eater?
How is it possible for a sandwich to communicate your personality? Are
you quiet or loud???
Will you indicate human interaction? Forks, knives, someone in
background, hand holding or reaching for sandwich?

are the forms repeated/ lines used to direct the eye
around the composition?

does that say about the person it symbolizes?

37. How do people respond
