This is my self portrait


This is my drawing of it. 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. I couldn't get them how mine looked but I did try my best.
4. This piece represents me because there are no filters or edits and this was strictly just a photo with the flash on of me. Without my glasses and all. I usually don't wear makeup but in this photo I did and it made me happier and comfortable in myself.
5. I applied value in this art because in some parts I had to shade darker to emphasize pupils and my eyeliner.
6. I enjoyed working on this project because it allowed me to really focus on tiny details.
7. I wish I could draw better so that my piece could've came out how I imagined it but I did what I could without getting too stressed out!

module 12

I chose 'Art of the 50's and 60's' and 'Uncertainty: Modernity and Art' because I love everything about the 50 and 60's era and am hoping the modernity video is about how art has expanded. 2. In 'Art of the 50's and 60's' I learned that many comic book characters are put together in the same way and viewed the same way. Also, I learned how to dissect a photo to better understand how a portrait was put together in the way that it was. In 'Modernity and Art' I learned that modern art is very hard to interpret and many people wish it wasn't. I realized that there is a lot of emotion behind the random strokes in a painting and nothing is meaningless. I always asked myself why I couldn't be famous for splatter painting on a canvas but I now see there is a lot of heavy detail behind the randomness of artwork. 3. These videos relate to the text because they both explain the many fine details that make or break the artwork and the...

module 11

1. I selected 'Matisse and Picasso' because I wanted to learn more about the famous artists that they are. I never knew much about them and was eager to find out. I also chose 'Expressionism' because it seemed interesting and was hoping it would teach me how artists chose the expressions on their artwork and what they meant behind them. 2. In 'Matisse and Picasso' I learned that Matisse and Picasso were both very different. I learned that Picasso added a lot to his works. He would come back everyday and restart on his painting, adding something new every time. In 'Expressionism', I learned that artists emphasized emotion to tell a story in their artworks. There were sad emotions expressed to signify death and to give details to the audience when looking at the artwork. 3. The videos relate to the reading in the text because they both give us reasons and ways that artists connect with their audience. 4. My opinion of these films were mixed throughou...

module 16-reflections of AED 200

1. My expectations of this class was to learn more about the background of art and these expectation were beyond met. I learned more than I thought I would which is great! 2. In my first post I said art is a from of creativity and a way to express oneself. I still believe in this but I also want to add that art isn't just about opinion and how the artist views things. The artist will gear towards a certain audience and actually leave out their personal opinions of the artwork and put aside their feelings in one's work. 3. 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.
