Using your photographs and scanned objects, you will create an expressive, abstract, surreal and/or symbolist self-portrait. You will do four different rough sketches of your composition in your sketchbook. Consider especially foreground, background, and middle ground. Also consider the overall composition, color, value, and line quality.
Set up your photoshop file to 8" x 10" and 300 dpi. If you prefer to make a different aspect ratio, that is fine, but make sure it takes up most of the space of an 8" x 10" page.
The final Photoshop collage will be printed on letter sized paper during class. Jpegs of these images should also be posted to the blog for feedback.
All students are required to give feedback to their assigned group members on the blog by the beginning of class on Sept 17th. (Groups will be assigned in class on the 15th.)
For inspiration, look at the work of the following artists: Frida Kahlo, Alessandro Bravari, Jim Dine, Paul Klee,Joseph Cornell, Emma Amos, Wassily Kandinsky, Jean-Michel Basquiat. , Maggie Taylor, Dorothy Simpson Krause
