Week 15 self portrait

Self portrait
Vincent VanGogh
The art institute of Chicago


Self Portrait Drawing at a Window
Rembrandt
The art institute of Chicago


Frederick Douglas
Samuel Miller
The art institute of Chicago



I selected these influential pieces because they were all portraits of people who directly influenced history. Though Rembrandt and VanGogh were strictly influential in art Frederick Douglas was a leader of the abolitionist movement.

I selected my media because I thought it created a cool effect on my picture. This specific time was a memorable night and I think the media I used highlight and embodied the emotions into the art work.



I think my hardest challenge with this project was choosing a media I liked, I knew that drawing was not an option for me from the beginning so it seemed digital was my best choice.

This piece represents me because it's vibrant and it's full of life in a way which perfectly embodies my personality.

I did enjoy working on this though it was a bit time consuming I liked creating my own portrait.
