Self-Portrait Sketchbook
Project: Matisse
ART 104 – Professor Kyle Stevenson
Due: The end of next week
You are to choose a Henri Matisse portrait drawing. In the same manner
as the Van Gogh project and the Ingres project, make a copy of the Matisse
drawing and make a self portrait drawing in the same scale, style, and position
as the copy. Matisse was all about line quality. His line has an unselfconscious whimsical
quality that is also extremely confident.
In copying his line you cannot possibly be authentically unselfconscious,
but you have to look that way. Spray fix!
There are a number of websites that are great image
resources: artcyclopedia.com, and artchive.com, but also try Google
images. Be creative in how you search
for images. They’re definitely out there
. . .
Hint: Be sure to
choose drawings, not prints that look like drawings.
