We are creating a self portrait but not a traditional one. a symbolic self portrait allows your to use imagination and show other aspects of who you are other than your likeness.
Your first step is to have someone take a picture of your face/shoulders. It can be a side view, front view or even an unusual angle as long as your face is recognizable.
Send it to your school email so that you can access it on your chrome book.
Think about images you could incorporate into your face/head/shoulders that can give the viewer an idea about your interests/ambitions etc...
Create at least two different thubnail sketches that we can look at and figure out which one works best.
Some examples:

When you are developing with your design you need the following:
At least two different photo references of elements you will include that will be included with your head/shoulders.
Clearly demonstrate all four painting techniques that we have practiced and identify where they are used in writing on the back of your work.
As always, begin your finished drawing with a light pencil drawing focusing on structure with basic shapes, center line, construction lines.
