I am an Artist, a Student, and an Athlete

I believe that the strength of my art is the self portrait that I drew and other drawing aspects. The parts of my story that came out in this non-traditional self portrait was who I am when I walk into a room. Instead of drawing I used words and pictures, and made a collage to help display my story.

The picture that I enjoyed the most was Age Old Hymns. I felt that this drawing was the most interesting and intriguing picture among them all. I really like this drawing by Alexander DeMaria because I think that it is really cool how he incorporated different things that he is fond of drawing and merged the into one portrait. I also really like his use of color/paint; he used guash on the mans face and really made it stand out. I also really admire the amount of detail he puts into his drawings and his effort to try and make them as realistic as possible.

Reflecting on self portrait project

I shared my self portrait with the group and I explained to them the purpose and my plans for my self portrait. They liked the self portrait of myself but since that was all that was there they weren't able to do a lot of critiquing on my work. But they did give me good feedback on my intentions for the final project.They told me that my work up to this point was good. I need to develope my ideas and put them onto my project to make it original because without my ideas it is just a portrait of myself.
