1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?

I thought these were the best examples of self portraits for me to learn from. I had to look at different museums to find them because not all the museums had a lot to choose from.

2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?

I chose digital because I do my best work through a computer. I work with computers a lot so I felt that using a computer program to do my self portrait makes the piece have a hidden meaning. 

3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?

The only challenge was figuring out what I wanted to do for it. I, honestly, am not the best drawer so I had to find a way to work around that. 

4. How does this piece represent you?

I chose to just do a replica of my picture because what best describes you than yourself! 

5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?

I used texture through the lines in the background, perspective by the shadows in the background, and value from the black scale of the shading. 

6. Did you enjoy working on this project?

It was okay. I felt a bit rushed because of all the other work we had to do this week.

7. What do you think of your final artwork?

I liked my self portrait. I thought it was a good replica of me and shows my softer side.
