Self-Portra

it Series

What’s the difference between a “portrait” and a “picture?”

What makes a successful portrait?

The Project…………

Self-Portraits #1 and #2 will get three class periods each and will be 9” x 12”

Self-Portraits #3 and #4 will get four class periods each and will be 12” x 18”

A series of 4 self-portraits

YOU HAVE OPTIONS with EACH portrait!

Actually, you get to pick from 3 different options for each of the 4 portraits.

You can keep the same image throughout all 4 portrait projects, or you can change anytime (between projects).

I will provide a printed copy of your original photo as well as one that has been “posterized.” –You only get ONE copy, don’t lose it!
