(Write in Sketchbook)

Create a painting, which visually communicates who I am, through imagery that depicts (shows) my outer & inner selves:

An “outside” self-portrait capturing my physical likeness through my correct use of
SHAPE, VALUE, LINE, & PROPORTION, and which communicates my expressive features, my underlying thoughts and feelings, through my facial expression and my use of COLOR & LINE.

An “inside” self-portrait capturing my internal aspects, (culture, personality traits, likes/dislikes, feelings, hopes, dreams) through the addition of imagery (realistic, symbolic), and,
ABSTRACT representation (i.e. feeling/emotions communicated through LINE & COLOR).

ABSTRACT: (adjective) art with little or no recognizable or realistic forms from the physical world; focus on formal elements (colors, lines, or shapes); nonrepresentational: not aiming to depict (show) an object but composed with the focus on internal structure and form.  (Artists often "abstract" objects by changing, simplifying, or exaggerating what they see).
