Self Portrait Collage
This is a fun way to start reflecting on who you are and representing those ideas through the elements of art
Take a selfie and send it my email at Lisette.cedeno@palmbeachschools.org (please edit picture in black and white to show good values )
Paint the background of the paper with one color using acrylic paint showing value. Have fun with this step!
While paper is drying search through magazines a cut out pictures of things you like, colors and patterns that your interested in.
Make an envelope to store cutouts
Think about composition (arrangement of visual elements)
You will be arranging your selfie and the cutouts into a balanced composition. Choose which type balance you want to show (Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, or Radial)
Take a picture of the composition and show me to discuss
