ES/MS Art : 8th The Hispanic Heritage Projects are completed with the three dimensional works now displayed in the art cases in the commons. The following handout is our new project.
SELF PORTRAIT: past , present , future…a Mixed Media Triptych 8th grade
In looking at a self portrait, one does not have to have a straight on, traditional, realistic close up of one’s self to show portraiture.
Ask yourself:
What does self portrait mean to you where or not you use a traditional likeness
( like a photo ).
How can I say “ me” without the traditional, imagery or methods
What symbols/ imagery can I use to represent myself
We will work on 3 panels which must stand alone as strong designs, and which also work as a 3 part unit., a triptych
We will have demos on collage, digital acrylic transfer, monotype printing
We will discuss what makes a strong design
