Nicole Lattanzio

Media: Pencil

Year: 2012

1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?

 I chose the self-portraits because all them men look so serious, I believe there are times to look serious. I feel that self-portraits represent you and if being serious in the picture means that either at the moment they wanted to be represented as serious or they are always serious people.

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

  I used a pencil because I like sketching with pencil, I feel that I chose this media because it is a utensil that I have used while driving. 

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

 The challenged I faced while during my self-portrait was doing at as a side view, I would next time do a picture that is a frontal view.

4. How does this piece represent you?

    This piece represents me because it is me! I took a picture of myself and then drew myself. 

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

  I used line throughout my project. I used repetition with the shape of my eyes. 

6. Did you enjoy working on this project?

 It was interesting to draw a picture of myself, I think the last time I did this was in Elementary school, doing it in a college level course is more complicated because of following different elements. 

7. What do you think of your final artwork?

 I think my final work is pretty close to the original picture, I  am satisfied with my self-portrait.
