self portrait





So far of all of the projects I would have to say this one was my favorite. Instead off all the technical concrete rules this project gave us a chance to be a little more creative and artsy it allowed us to just have fun by being able to portray ourselves in whatever way we wanted. In all 8 of my portraits I carried out a constant color scheme of blues, greens,black and I pulled in copper. I really enjoyed making the stand for these to sit on because I got to learn something new. I had never worked with wood before and was oblivious to anything that even related to wood. I went to Lowe's home improvement with a sketch in my hand and explained to the guy what I was making and what I thought I needed he was very helpful, and he made my experience more enjoyable, I thought it would be very hard and what not but, for me personally nailing wood together or putting clamps on is a lot easier than trying to glue some matte board or foam board together.
