    Art 3

    River Hill High School

    how you doin?


    In art...one cannot have too much patience.
    —Vincent van Gogh, in a letter to his brother, Theo

    Sometimes something can look beautiful just because it’s different in some way from the
    other things around it.
    —Andy Warhol

    Create a self portrait showing foreshortening in some way. The drawing should include
    ½ of your body and at least one hand in the composition.

    Drawing materials: Any that we have used in class or in HW experimentation.

    The format must be at least 18 x 24-inches (larger if you like...include a substantial


    portion of your body)

    Working from observation, create a self portrait (or, alternatively, a portrait of


    someone who will pose for you for a long time!!!)—head, neck, shoulders which (both)
    captures a sense of the volume of the head and body, and expresses something about your
    subject’s personality.
    Things you might consider when setting up:
    —costume/clothing
    —dramatic and/or strong lighting
    —gesture and expression
    —proximity and/or point-of-view
    Things you must consider in creating your drawing:
    —use a direct light source
    - work light to dark
    —show your marks
    —compose the entire page
    —use the necessary values to describe the volumes and spaces
    —do not include picky details
    THUMBNAILS...at least 5 well developed sketches
    due Monday/Tuesday Nov. 16th or Nov. 17th
    I would like to see substantial work here!!! Plan on 6-8 hours total to
    complete.
