Homework--9/30

Read AT LEAST 4 artist STATEMENTS from painters doing self-portraits, 2 must deconstruct the frame/ break the surface/ work three-dimensionally. REMEMBER: Self-portraits do not have to be figurative! Or overtly legible! These are introspective moments into another person's self-reflection.

Post link to your favorite along with 2 comments on WHY you find this artist's work is effective/ineffective, one comment on readability (is there a narrative? is that important? what is the first thing YOU see when interpreting this piece? does this piece require a legend or key?), and one comment on formal aesthetic/ composition (what is HAPPENING in frame? is there balance, and if not is this purposeful?).

Your self portrait will require an artist statement as well. This is due next Monday, along with your self-portrait, printed at the beginning of class.
