This document provides instructions for a close analysis assignment on an artist's self-portrait. It lists over 200 artists and their basic information. Students are asked to select one of the artists from the list, view their self-portrait, and analyze how the artist represented themselves externally through the internal. The analysis should explore "windows and doors" of the self-portrait image.

The struggle is inner: Chicano, indio, American Indian, mojado,
mexicano, immigrant Latino, Anglo in power, working class
Anglo, Black, Asian—our psyches resemble the bordertowns
and are populated by the same people. The struggle has always
been inner, and is played out in the outer terrains. Awareness
of our situation must come before inner changes, which in turn
come before changes in society. Nothing happens in the “real”
world unless it first happens in the images in our heads.
Gloria Anzaldúa, Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza
(1987)
Introduction
In this part of Module 5, we have been exploring how visual
artists and architects interact with borders in their work.
Borders inherently establish defined points of view as well as
remind us of the limitations and possibilities for transgressing
those borders or living in the “borderlands” (Anzaldúa).
Consider the images you viewed of the art, architecture, and
design found at the physical borders between nations around the
world. Could you imagine standing at these different
borderlines or in the border spaces? Which borders can you step

2. over? Where can you sit with someone on the other side? Where
can you see across? Which ones are completely opaque? Which
borders feel unsafe? They feel so different! How are they
designed to feel or operate this way?
Then, consider artists and architects who explore borders as
themes or principles in their work or who feel themselves to be
operating in a border space? (see Marlin-Bennett, Maya Lin)
Did any of the artists in our tours of Chicago’s public art use
their work to highlight or bump up against the borders of a wall,
a neighborhood, a community, the city?
Finally, we turn our attention to self, self-perception, and self-
representation. How would you create a portrait of yourself?
(Give it a try right now!) How do you express your internal
spirit externally? In which ways do you intentionally “present”
to the world and in which ways does the world layer an image
on to you? When does creating your own image or own story act
as resistance to a “single story” misperception? How can a self-
portrait be powerful? Consider the story behind Artemisia
Gentileschi’s Self-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting (see
Mary Gerrard) and how she used dominant iconography of the
time to render a feminist portrait. Almost every other artist you
can think of or know personally (maybe including yourself) has
created a self-portrait of some kind of another. (See the list of
275 of them below!)
This project asks you to select the self-portrait of one artist and
explore the “windows and doors” of their image through a close
analysis of the piece. How is the internal made external in their
self-image?Step 1: Select an Artist and their Self-Portrait
Spend time reviewing several of the artists on the list below;
identify those that you have read or learned about, those you
have always wanted to explore, and those who are completely
new to you. Browse around online to get more acquainted with
some of the names that pique your interest (you can start by
googling the artist name and “self-portrait”). Decide on an artist
whose work you would like to explore during this project.
Select ONE of their self-portraits (an image in which the artist

3. represents themselves – in painting, sculpture, or any other
medium). This self-portrait will be the object of your close
analysis for this paper.Artist OptionsThese artists are arranged
chronologically by date of birth. This is just a small sampling of
artists (if they are not on this list, it does not mean they are less
important than those here). This list only includes artists who
have created at least one self-portrait (an image in which the
artist represents themselves).

must be a self-portrait by the artist for this assignment)
275. Yourself (If you want to analyze a self-portrait of yourself,
email the instructor to get approvalStep 2: Complete the Written
Analysis
A. Once you select an artist, identify the particular self-portrait
by them that you will analyze, and do some research to prepare
for the analysis.
Some of the artists have only created a single self-portrait;
others have created multiple self-portraits. Depending on the
artist you choose, you might need to select which one of their
self-portraits you want to research and closely analyze in your
paper, answering the five questions listed below.
If you are having trouble identifying which of your artist’s
artworks qualify as self-portraits, please email the instructor
asap for assistance. I will be happy to help.
B. Prepare your analysis to plan your paper.
You can do research into the artist and the specific self-portrait
by them that you have selected:
· Consult this HWC Library Guide on doing artist research:
· Utilize this HWC Library Guide on doing visual art analysis:
· Other reputable sources includeartsy, hyperallergic, artnet
news, museum websites, university websites, scholarly journals
like those you can access through the HWC library, or the
artist’s personal website [for contemporary artists showcasing
their own work]
· Do not rely on Pinterest or Wikipedia or other non-reputable
sources.
· Review the “Resources for Close Looking Analysis,” which
are posted in the Module 3 Part 5 tab, to familiarize your self
with some terms and techniques that will be useful for you to
incorporate into your analysis.

12. Your analysis should be about 2.5-4 pages and answer the
following 5 questions about the artist’s self-portrait (you may
number your responses):
1) Relevant biography (10 pts)
Explain in 1-2 paragraphs a brief outline about the artist’s life,
focusing specifically on any particular experiences or aspects of
their background that are important to know about in order to
better understand the choices they made in this particular self-
portrait. Be sure to cite whatever biographical information
about the artist that you learned from outside sources.
2) Medium/Materials (5 pts)
Explain in 1 paragraph about what materials/media the artist
utilized to make this self-portrait (Is it a photograph? A
painting? A sculpture? A print such as a woodcut or engraving?
A mixed-media piece? A performance?) Be as specific as
possible about the particular materials they used and the way
that those materials help draw attention to some of the other
choices they made about subject matter and/or formal elements.
3) Subject matter (what is depicted: people, things, words, etc.)
(15 pts)
In 1-2 paragraphs, explain the subject matter in detail.
Obviously, the artist is somehow included as subject matter in
this self-portrait (otherwise, it doesn’t meet the requirement for
the assignment), but which aspects of the artist are included—
what parts of their body, what clothing or objects, what scenery
is included? What do those choices help reveal to the viewer
about the artist?
4) Formal Elements (how it is depicted: colors, shapes,
perspective, composition, etc.) (15 pts)
In 1-2 paragraphs, explain how the artist has chosen to represent
the subject matter mentioned in question 3. Is the artist
represented naturalistically (true-to-life), or are they
represented in a more stylized or abstract way? What colors are
used, what shapes are created by the arrangement of lines and
forms? Where are each of those elements of subject matter

13. positioned in the composition? Where is the viewer positioned
relative to the subject matter? What do those choices help
reveal to the viewer about the artist?
5) Meaning/Message/Mood (15 pts)
In 2 paragraphs, explain which aspects of the self-portrait help
elicit* an emotional and/or intellectual response from the
viewer. Be sure to explain how and why those aspects work to
convey a message. How do the image’s formal elements and
subject matter work together or work in opposition to convey
the message? In other words, think of this fifth question as a
way to tie together observations from questions 1-4:
Historical and Cultural Context (values and events prevalent
during the artist’s life)
Subject Matter (what is depicted: people, things, words, etc.)
+ Formal Elements (how it is depicted: colors, shapes,
perspective, composition, etc.)Message/Meaning/Mood of the
Artwork (your interpretation based on analysis of the subject
matter and formal elements and connections to the context in
which it was made)
In your paper, explain the aspects of the artist’s identity that
they chose to highlight through their self-portrait (Their
professional identity; one or more aspect of their physical
appearance; one or more aspect of their gender, ethnic, or
religious identity; some aspect of their emotional or
psychological state; or a combination of these things) and how
their artwork fits into and/or stands out from its historical
context.6) Include a Works Cited section, plus the artwork and
caption; and organize your writing into clearly-constructed
sentences and paragraphs (20 pts) III. Other Writing Tips
Your paper should be written in the first person [using “I see”
or “it makes me think”] or in third person [using “one sees” or
“it makes the viewer think”] but avoid using second person [do
not use phrases like “you wonder” or “it makes you think”].
Use the included rubric (see pages 8-10) as a checklist to ensure
you have provided the reader with everything required.

14. *Good words/phrases to use when describing and analyzing
visual works:
The work of art alludes to an idea... (NOTE: the work of art
does not elude unless it avoids something like capture or
definition.)
The work of art conveys a message…
The work of art evokes an emotional response... (NOTE: the
work of art does not invoke unless it’s explicitly calling on a
deity.)
The work of art elicits an emotional response... (NOTE: the
work of art does not illicit. Illicit is an adjective meaning
forbidden or unlawful. Elicit is a verb)
The artist illustratesan idea or story…
The artist suggests an idea or emotion...
The work of art or artist emphasizes an element, area, or
mood... IV. Quoting and Citing your Sources
1. When you incorporate background research about the artist or
self-portrait, you should only use reputable sources such as
museum and university websites, or scholarly journals like
those you can access through the HWC library, or the artist’s
personal webpage (if they have one). You must also make sure
to abide by the rules of academic honesty and provide
appropriate MLA citations. TurnItIn will generate an
“Originality Report” for your final draft, highlighting any
wording that comes from another source (internet, another
student’s paper, etc.) rather than your own head. Be sure to
resolve any issues with your Originality Report before the due
date by fixing the issue in your paper and resubmitting a
corrected draft.
a. If the Originality Report only highlights passages of
“matching text” that have been properly quoted and cited in
MLA format (following the three steps listed below), then you
are fine.
b. If, however, the Originality Report highlights any passages
that have NOT been placed in quotation marks AND ALSO

15. provided with an in-text citation and Works Cited page citation
in MLA format, then you must fix these issues and resubmit a
new draft by the due date.Three steps to properly quote and cite
your sourcesStep 1: Put all borrowed wording in quotation
marks, using proper MLA style
Formatting quotations in MLA style (Note that there are
different formatting guidelines for quoting lines of poetry and
for quoting lines of prose. Also, the length of the quotation
affects the formatting that you should follow).Step 2: Construct
in-text parenthetical citations for all borrowed ideas (whether
you’ve kept and quoted the original wording, or whether you’ve
summarized or paraphrased it in your own words), using proper
MLA style
· MLA In-text citations (basic book)
· MLA In-text citations (electronic sources)
· MLA In-text citations (artwork, movie, etc.)
Step 3: Construct a Works Cited page, using proper MLA style
MLA Works Cited page.
