Middle School Exploratory- Acrylics Self Portrait

Create an image that describes who you are.  What are your interests, ambitions etc...  Your image should be more than what you look like and does not necessarily have to even show your face.  Be creative and try different ideas.  Find photo references for the elements you are going to draw and paint before starting the 9 x 12 finished canvas board.  

Demonstrate all 7 elements of art in your work.  For color, demonstarte at least 3 different examples of all three properties and for texture demonstrate at least 3 different textures.  You will be asked to identify them all on the last day of class before taking them home.  We may not finish the paintings so just do your best and make sure you accomplish the objectives to the very best of your ability.
