LECTURES

Lectures notes 

Project 1 : Self-Portrait 

After I watched the recorded lecture for project 1 , we are required to create a design for self-portrait. We may use any medium of our choice on doing this project. 

Self

Self is actually " Yourself " which actually means is your basic personality , traits and nature.
It could be , My experiences , interests , thoughts ,how others see me (Physical traits and personality) and how I see myself (Physical traits and personality)
It means in terms of what you are really like as a person. What make you unique from the other's .

Self-portraits

Self-portraits is the representation of the artists in a form of a drawing, painting, sculpture and design. A visual depiction of the self. 

INSTRUCTIONS



Project 1: Self-Portrait

We area asked to Create your own self-portrait in A4 size. You may use any medium of your choice. You are to apply your design principles knowledge. Explore various ideas and approaches before deciding on a final idea.
2. Write a 150-200-word rationale for your final idea.

So I started off by sketching the idea , I decided to make brain storming at the beginning of the process.

Figure 3 Sketching the idea

So For doing this project I went to studio here in my country to take photo there for the self-portrait project for good quality picture to work on it using photoshop

Figure 4 My picture used for the project

The reason for wearing black for 2 reasons the first one is because black is my favourite color , so the self portrait is all about me , and what I like and dislike so this one of the things that gonna be explained in the rationale .
The second reason is that I was model in my country for the brand of this dress that I'm wearing .

I started off with collecting the pictures that I'm going to use through this project.

Here's Pdf contains all the pictures used in this Artwork.

Feedback 1

On my first consultation session, Miss Maria told me that I need to draw ( not photo collage), For this point I wasn't really not feeling comfortable and I felt so stressed as inside the brief its already mentioned that I can use any medium so I used photoshop and the design expressing a lot of things on myself. Because actually doing this design took a lot of effort and time so I have to repeat all over again.
Its okay to repeat the design more than 5 times , but the point that the drawing will not be  good as what I did on photoshop it will be worse I'm afraid to lose marks because of the bad drawing, but anyway I will try my best.

So I started off by sketching the design that I did on photoshop.

Feedback 2

After showing Miss Maria the design , She suggested to me to add medal too , Like winners because I'm swimmer champion .

Figure 18 drawing process after feedback I got 

Then I started the colouring process , unfortunately didn't follow the exact colours as I did in the photoshop , and at that time in not able to go to the stationery as my dad tested +VE for COVID-19.
So I used the colours I had at that time.

Then started to apply the colours , I used markers.

Reflection


This was an interesting project it made me to take notes about my self , what people think of my (my friends) and im really was very happy with the things I heard about myself .

This project made me to look deeper within my personality and my traits. I was very happy till the moment that I have tp repeat again all of the artwork to drawing outcome , as this project really took an effort and time , To be honest im not very satisfied with the drawing outcome due to lack of materials at that time and lack of colours this made me very stressed , and im afraid to lose marks due to the drawing not good enough as the design that I did using photoshop.

Of course I'm not mad or anything and im glad that Miss Maria usually guide me and assist me and she's always correcting me if I'm wrong .

But I hope not to lose marks due to the bad drawing the final outcome doesn't met my exceptions I expected better but at least , I tried my best .
