Project 1
LECTURE
How ones define themselves?
As a human, we might have several sides that intended to
different individuals as we live(ex. to friend, family,
etc.) We also have different opinion of how we preserved ourselves. This can
potentially be influence by other person's view or art style too. To see it
more clearly it can help by diagram that was introduced on the
lecturer's slide below.
Self-Portrait
means a visual depiction of ourself. It's a practice to self-explore
and observe of how we want to be seen, how we feels about our self, and how
others want to see us. This practice also doesn't meant to be a
realistic drawing of ourself but rather it can be achieved by other solution
as well. Such things can be done by emphasis other body parts than face or
we can draw ourself from other perspectives. To begin this exercise, we can start to Mind Map ourself in a form of
sketch/Videography/Photography.
INTRUCTIONS
Project 1: Self-Portrait
1. Visual Research

| Fig.1 Source: Pinterest |
I got inspired from this photograph self potrait of how they evoke the multiple emotions that are appealing to the creator. It seems like it doesn't show only positive thoughts but also negative can be perceived as ones's identity.

2. Idea Exploration

| Fig. 3 Layout sketch |
In the first sketch I tried to make a sort of like a person that being controlled like a puppet. However, this idea was not executed well therefore in the 2nd sketch I tried to show that as an introvert I need a cool time that helps me recharge again for the day.

| Fig. 4 Character Sketch |
Here, I attempted to add my physical feature into the drawing. Like hooded eyes, hair style, face shapes, etc. basically all of the characteristic that has been mentioned in the mind map.

| Fig.7. Color Palette |
The contrast color that provided by the green and red in this color palette is the reason for me to choose the color combination. Also, the color looks nice together therefore I proceeded to color my my drawing with it.
3. Final Outcome

FEEDBACK
Due to the self study week, I didn't manage to got a specific feedback for
my works. However, I took some general feedback from W7 that it will be
better if we make a mind map to help us breakdown our identity and intention
for the works.
REFLECTION
I'm actually pretty satisfied with the theme that I choose to deliver but still I was not really pleased enough with the outcome. To be honest, I felt a little bit overwhelmed with projects this past week so It was quite a loss that I didn't venture more for this project. Despite all, I did learn on analyzing oneself through this self portrait project. It makes me more aware of the way I thought of myself.
