Portrait of Antonia Carvova, 1799
1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?
The gallery that I selected had a very limited number of self portraits, but I just felt like these portraits were unique and had an inner-meaning. Not only were they physically appealing, there was a message behind them.
2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?
I used my friends' graphic pencil. I'm really terrible at painting, charcoal, and just about everything else. I felt like I could put out the best product this way.
3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?
Well, I'm really terrible at art, so it was a challenge in general. It probably took me 6 or 7 sketches to get this – and it's still not that good.
4. How does this piece represent you?
This piece represents me by showing my love for beer and baseball tees. I'm pretty simple, this piece describes me as just that, simple.
5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?
I used value a lot in this piece.
6. Did you enjoy working on this project?
It was a little stressful. I just wish I was better at drawing, but I'm just not.
7. What do you think of your final artwork?
I think it's pretty rough, but I'm actually impressed with myself. It's the best artwork I've ever done.
