I chose to take the hand out and just focus on the face. Reflection questions: 1. I selected these inspiration pieces because they each are unique with different angles. 2. I selected the media to do my self portrait because to me it is easiest to get fine details with a pencil for it to look the most like me. 3. I was facing challenges while drawing the lips.

Vincent Van Gogh was my favorite artist and now it is Claude Monet. Monet is my favorite because I have seen many of his painting of flowers in fields and the texture look of his art makes it even better. 4. I love online courses! My view on them are the same from the beginning because I knew it would take more self discipline but I love it! I learned a lot doing everything on my own.

For this project I first found all of the bright and cheerful artwork I wanted to use. I then organized the artwork in order of the colors and textures used. This project was a lot of fun and the theme was perfect for m to describe. Anything joyful or happy I love to view! This is the type of work I like to see. I then found information on each piece of art and every single one had a reason to be on my slideshow. Every piece was joyful and wanted to show the viewer a sense of happiness and a content feeling within your life. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VOaU-AwM0TiTs3BbzKyMjmWeMapslqFsCRHUzwHNw4Q/edit#slide=id.p
