Symbolic Self Portrait Project
For this project, my classmates and I had to create a portrait of ourselves that includes images that represent who we are. After drawing our mind maps, we asked a classmate to take a picture of ourselves and printed them. Then we traced them and got to work on our images.
As you can see, I used a few images to represent myself, however, due to my lack of ability to draw well I traced all of my images. I based most of my images based on my favorites and likes. The red monkey represents my favorite animal in my favorite color, it is reaching for a french fry because they are my favorite food. There are images that show my love for The Sims 3, Harry Potter, Disney, Running/Cross Country, and music. The last two images (the graduation cap & diploma and ribbon) represent more so my future. The cap and diploma show how I am definitely going to graduate and the ribbon show represents how I want to achieve and try my best in everything I do.
this project took me about a week and a half to complete. Though it seems simple, we were only given class time to work on it (however, we did have the option to work on it at home if needed). What I liked most about this project is that I got to express myself through creativity even if I did trace it. I thought it as fun to use the images I found and put them together to form something expressive and creative. The process was quite simple and it was cool to learn about our classmates and how they express their creativity in this project.
