3/30 Blog

I’m not to sure how I am going to approach project 3 yet. I have never done a project like this before so I do not know where to start. After I watched Professor Wilgar’s video explain the project and what a self portrait is and looks like, I am not stressed out about this project. It seems like I have a lot of freedom when it comes to what my self portrait looks like and what it consists of. When this project was first assigned, I thought I was going to have to make something extremely detailed. Now I know that as long as my project represents what I want it to represent, I have done it correctly.

I want to make sure that I include all of the things that make me who I am. These things consist of accomplishments that I am very proud of, things that I believe in, things that I like, and many other things. I don’t think that it would be good if I put every single thing that I can think of in my self portrait so I am going to narrow it down to the main things that I think are the most important in my life.

Of the self portrait examples that I have seen online, I like the ones that are drawn the best. I’m not to sure why, but they stood out to me. I have always liked to drawn things and this project will put my drawing to the test. Since my computer is touchscreen, I have already drawn some pictures and have some art apps already downloaded. If I end up finding out that drawing my self portrait will be to hard then I can just switch to and actually picture of me. My computer doesn’t have Photoshop on it and I am not going to pay for Photoshop, so I would have to look for some free photo editing apps. Maybe some of my other classmates will have used some good ones in their first drafts that I can try out.
