Expressive self portraits
This document provides guidelines for students to create expressive self-portraits using mixed media. It suggests students create an abstracted or surreal environment with limited color palette that is meaningful to the artist. Students should consider including multiple views of themselves, portraits with limited values, profiles, straight views, or "x-ray" drawings in black or white. A variety of media can be used including newspaper, magazines, acrylic paint, ink, gesso, charcoal and pencil. The portraits should incorporate personal experiences and interests of the artist.
