Self-Portrait Silhouettes
I can create a self-portrait out of items that are meaningful/represent me.
The students began by looking at the art Guiseppe Arcimboldo, a Renaissance painter who created portraits made up of other objects (such as fruit, vegetables and birds). Arcimboldo (1527 - July 11, 1593) was an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of such objects as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and books - that is, he painted representations of these objects on the canvas arranged in such a way that the whole collection of objects formed a recognizable likeness of the portrait subject.The students took this idea and made it their own by filling their own silhouette with images of things that tell something about themselves. Students used pencil, ink and watercolors to complete their works.
