1. I selected the inspiration pieces I did because two of them were done in just pencil, or black and white which I love. I also love the first image I chose because the way the artist created her hair to fill up the page was beautiful. The last one I chose because of her unique facial expression. I thought that one was great because it represented who she was and how she was feeling.
2. I chose to create my self portrait with pencil mostly because I am not artistic and needed to use something I could erase with. I also like the way it looks when artist create self portraits with pencils and charcoal.
3. I faced many challenges when creating my self portrait because I am not comfortable drawing and I don't love the way any of my pieces turn out because of it. I know that I lack artist ability and I wish I was more talented in that aspect. It was also challenging because this was an image I created to depict myself so because I couldn't get it to look the way I envisioned, it became frustrating. I eventually overcame my frustrations and finished my self portrait by telling myself that as long as the process and effort was there then I did everything right. Not every artwork is intended to be perfect and thats what makes art so incrediable.
4. This piece represents me because it is a drawing I created of myself. It may not look exactly like me but I tried to the best of my ability. I made sure to include my hair because I have never appreciated my thin, pin straight, blonde hair in the past. I always wished I had thicker more fuller hair and the ability to make it different colors.
5. I applied balance and emphasis in my work of art. I decided to create my self portrait in the middle of the paper and create a blank background so that the emphasis was directed towards my face and hair. I also used line, value and texture in my piece. This can be seen in my hair for example.
6. Although I struggled with this project I ended up enjoying it because it pushed me to do something out of my comfort zone. It was also enjoyable because it was an assignment about me and I found that more interesting and pleasurable than learning about another artist.
7. Overall, I think my final piece could be a lot better. To me it looks creepy because I don't think it looks anything like me.
