Artist Statement For My Self Portraits

I would like to name this piece of art Self Portrait Collage. I created this by first making a grid and drawing myself on it. Then out of the four self portraits, we chose one drawing we wanted to keep as just a drawing and we used different artist tools to make the other three. I chose colored pencil, brush and ink, and foam plate printing. Some things I learned when making this are that you can’t take too long when drawing the self portrait and it’s extremely hard to make them look excactly like you! My favorite part of this project was making the foam plate print (far right). If I could change something about it would be to spend less time on the drawing itself and focus more on the different techniques we were using. While making it I was surprised that it was very hard to have your grid drawing correspond with the picture. Something else about this is that before we made these we did little mini assignments leading up to this project.
