Here are the Requirements:
1. Take a photograph of yourself that is psychologically interesting. It MUST be inspired by an image from the textbook*. Use your phones camera settings to adjust the colors, zoom in, crop, etc. Your selfie portrait must tell a story that you will interpret based on these elements:
Composition, Vantage; are you central and up close? Significantly small and off center? Zoom in! Or out!
Color; black & white, color saturation- vivid, faded. Use your phone’s camera settings to adjust the colors to suit the psychological interpretation.
Iconography: Props, clothing
2. Analyze your selfie based on the 3 elements:
3. Reflection: was it successful? Does it create the psychological portrait you were hoping for?
4. Identify the artist’s work that you took inspiration from. This MUST be from the textbook. Is the inspiration evident? How was it inspired by the artist? Be specific.
Thanks!
**************************
Things to consider:
You may create a factitious character like Cindy Sherman did. This broadens your possibilities. Make up a totally new you!
If you are camera shy, you may photograph someone else that can be your model.
Use an artist from the textbook as an inspiration; you do not have to copy them.
*Refer to pgs 317-323, or images 11.4-11.13 for reference.
