Self-Portra
it Series
What’s the difference between a “portrait” and a “picture?”
What makes a successful portrait?
The Project…………
Self-Portraits #1 and #2 will get three class periods each and will be 9” x 12”
Self-Portraits #3 and #4 will get four class periods each and will be 12” x 18”
A series of 4 self-portraits
YOU HAVE OPTIONS with EACH portrait!
Actually, you get to pick from 3 different options for each of the 4 portraits.
You can keep the same image throughout all 4 portrait projects, or you can change anytime (between projects).
I will provide a printed copy of your original photo as well as one that has been “posterized.” –You only get ONE copy, don’t lose it!
