Self-Portraiture Assignment
DUE: Wednesday, April 29th
A. Take 200 photos of yourself using all of the following methods: timer & tripod, computer cam, portrait that you direct & that YOU EDIT to make your own...
B. These 200 photos will serve as a self-study. You will write a one-page reflection at the end of the project that discusses the exploration of yourself during this unit. You should think of this project as a growing opportunity, and put your best effort into trying new things to produce a self-portrait study that projects who you are right now in your life.
C. FINAL SHOTS:
1. Symbolic Signature
* OPTION 1 - Create a graphic design that would be your symbolic signature. This may be a drawing that you photograph and then manipulate in Photoshop, or perhaps a drawing done with paint tool in Photoshop. Consider the following:
* COLOR as symbolism
* shapes & lines combined to create new meaning, movement, & direction
* creating a composite of your image layered with other photos/drawings
* creating a composite of several drawings/photos/phrases that represent you
* OPTION 2 - Photographically illustrate the quote/phrase that best represents you and how you live your life & view the world
2, 3 & 4. Personas: Project 3 different sides of yourself
A) Illustrate at least 2 of your public personalities photographically
...You might consider the personas you display:
B) Illustrate your DARK SIDE
- What are you like on the inside? What is the darker side of yourself that you do not tend to project in public? Reveal what you are hiding and create a dark/introverted mood in this photograph.
5. Fantasy: My Utopian Self in my Utopian World
