The Symbolic Self-Portrait Project!! For this project, we first took a picture of ourselves, and then traced the silhouette onto paper. Then, we drew things that we thought represented ourselves onto a separate piece of paper, so we could practice and not end up with a horrid final draft. After this, we drew the shapes inside the silhouette. After this, I drew the background, which is supposed to represent a rubix cube tile pattern. I then colored in the tiles and some of the things floating around in my head. I drew in the background blue, and added white, puffy clouds. After this, I was done! The final product is below.
