1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces? I chose these three pieces because each artist played a different angle pertaining to self portraits.
2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait? I have the most experience with oil paint and used this assignment to try it again.
3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them? It was hard to make the shape of my face right so that it actually resembled my face. I had to paint over it many times.
4. How does this piece represent you? My face reflects gentleness and an unstressed state, which is how I feel I have come to be. It represents a change in myself to a more harmonious person.
