Self-Portraits

A self-portrait is a representation of an artist, drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by the artist. Self-portraits are a way to say something about yourself that you can’t capture with a photograph. It is a visual record. Self-portraits can tell the viewer not only about what the artist looks like physically, but also their mood based on facial expressions, lines and color choices. Self-portraits are different than regular portraits because the artist can make choices about how they want to portray themselves. Realistic or abstract? Dark colors or bright colors? Background scene telling more about the subject or washes of colors? What type of clothing the subject is wearing might tell us about the person in the self-portrait as well. Can you guess who is pictured in these vivid self-portraits?
