Final Exam Project Info

This project will be 50% of your final exam grade. You will take a written test that will count for the other 50%.

You will choose one of the following self-portrait options: Silhouette Self-Portrait Playing Card Self-Portrait Postage Stamp Self-Portrait

You will have this week and test week to work on your portraits. You may take your projects home to work on them if necessary. Be warned-”forgetting” a project at home will result in a detention.

This is your final project, make it the best you possibly can! This project will be due on the day of your semester exam. You will take your

exam first then have the rest of the time to complete the portrait. No early projects will be accepted unless your absence is pre-approved by

the office and I have written proof from one of the administrators.

Silhouette Self-PortraitProcess:• Take black & white photo of self

facing sideways• Print photo (I can do this)• Cut out your silhouette • Get 9 X 12 white paper• Put a ½” border on paper• Trace silhouette on paper• Fill silhouette with drawings of

objects that represent you• You may use some words• Drawing can be in black & white

or in color. That is a design decision you will have to make.

• Your silhouette will NOT have a background, it will will remain on the white paper or you may cut it out and glue it black paper

Playing CardSelf-PortraitsProcess:• Choose which face card you

feel well represents you• Research what playing

cards look like-this does not need to be based off of what you THINK they look like

• Get a 9 x 12 piece of white paper.

• Put a ½” border on the paper. Make sure to round your corners of the border to mimic the corners on a playing card

• Drawing must be in color

Postage Stamp Self PortraitProcess:• Other than a

representation of you in the design, there needs to be a number and a word in the design

• Get 9 X 12 white paper• Put a ½’” border on the

paper• Make sure the border is

scalloped like the edges of a stamp

• Transfer design to paper• Design must be in color
