FOLLOW THE SELF-PORTRAIT AND IDENTITY BOX DIRECTIONS

(PROJECT)

1. SELF-PORTRAIT DIRECTIONS: (3 POINTS)

1.1 Using a large white paper, draw a representational self-

portrait which will be attached to the outside of your identity
box.
 Draw your eyes, nose, mouth and ears first, and put in
the hair last.
1.2 Use colored pencils to draw in individual coloring of
skin, eyes, hair, etc. When your portrait is complete, glue it onto
either the top, or one of the sides, of your identity box.
1.3 Decorate the entire outside of your box using scrap paper,
fabric, beads, sequins, paint, craft items, etc.
 Cover the entire box, except the bottom, with a variety of
materials, colors, and patterns – the box needs to attract
the attention of the viewer.
 Line the inside of their box, but remember to keep it simple
so as not to detract from the objects which will go inside.

As a guideline for your self-portrait, use the following technique

demonstration of drawing facial proportions.
Using Color Symbols: A Self Portrait
Think about how artists use color to show meaning
in their art works. What color symbols could you
use or invent to tell people about yourself? Draw a
self-portrait and include several colors that
symbolize something about you!
Here is Carmine Chameleon's self-portrait. Carmine
colored himself red because he loves the color
carmine red. He shows lots of green grass because spring is his favorite
time of the year. The rainbow in the background symbolizes all of the
colors Carmine can be.
Some artists tell people about their symbols. Other artists keep them a
secret and let people guess about the meaning of their art.

You can use a small mirror. This is for practice. The final one in a large
white paper, you will do it in class.
