Self Portrait
Metamorphosis: famous
Due:
next week at the beginning of class
You
are to choose a famous (or infamous) person. Be sure to choose someone who is
fascinating, and who also has immediately recognizable visual
characteristics. You are to make self-portrait
as that person. You may NOT choose Hitler or Trump.
This
project comes in two parts.
1.
The first part involves you finding an image of your chosen person and making
an accurate and precise drawing of that image so that it fills a page in your
sketchbook. You may use any media
appropriate.
2.
The second part involves making a self portrait as that person using the first
image as a point of departure for the second (it must also fill a sketchbook
page). You are to make it clear in your
drawing that the second drawing is you, while at the same time keeping it recognizable
as that famous person. You are not to
make a cartoon version of yourself or your chosen person. Although you may choose a fictional
character, it must not be an animated character.
To
recap: make a drawing of a famous person, and then make a drawing of you as
that famous person.
Standards
of craftsmanship will be very high for these last few projects. Spend as much time as appropriate for each
drawing. Take pride in your
sketchbooks! They will be a valuable
asset to your transfer portfolios.
