Images of objects that you plan on using. 2. A numbered list of the objects and a brief description of why they are an "Autobiography". This must be specific.3. A description of how you "think" that you will use the objects.4. You must use some of terms from the Principles of Composition. Please review Ch 2 for these. Note how in my example, I bolded the terms used.Example: This is My diorama- My autobiography only.1.2. Starting from the top left to right:cardboard box that will be the "box" that everything will go inship list of passengers from my Filipino grandfather when he immigrated to the US- this is a reminder of my ancestry.Dia de Los Muertos papel picado banner- a practice that I participate in yearly and throughout the year.vintage spool of thread- a symbolic connection to my mother and the artistic practice we share togetherfeather- a symbol of my spirituality and connection to nature. flower broach- a whimsical item from my daughter that represents a mother and child- one flower and a smaller flower.yarn and bead necklace- an early creative relic of my daughters.big bead with gold leaf on it- a symbolic reminder to be present and always play.battery operated twinkle lights- lights are a symbolic reminder of mortality, an ever present element that I think about and drives my values and beliefs.3.I will begin by printing several copies of #2 to then cover the entire inside and outside of the cardboard box so that I do not see the cardboard any longer.Then, I will place one flag from #3 on top of the background.Once my background is complete, I will arrange the biggest items first and play around with the placement, trying out several compositions; I will experiment with all forms of balance, before deciding on one. After the big items are positioned, and glued down, I will add the lights and and glue them down or make holes in the box, so that they don't move.In the end, I will place one of the #3 in the front of everything, including in front of the lights. That way, the flags will glow since the plastic is translucent.That is my rough plan. Things may change, items may change; but this is the final plan.Students>>> please know that plans always change. Please allow your self time and flexibility- we can plan to the very smallest of details, but things can happen- so please be welcoming of the unexpected.Posts and Replies are due on Sunday July 26Please reply to two students. The nature of this topics reply should address giving suggestions, or helping to "brainstorm" additional ideas. Since this topic is all about you, the student; replies should not direct students to shift the thematic focus away from the student. Instead, provide technical ideas- how to glue, attach, cut, or use the materials chosen. OR reinforcement of ideas. We all need a little encouragement especially when we are doing something new 😃How do I record a video using the Rich Content Editor?

The subculture of the selfie exploded with the onset of the mirror camera mode- and now, it would be difficult to find anyone that has a smart phone that does not know what a selfie is. However, this practice has been around for hundreds of years, and was previously identified as a “self portrait”.The earliest that I can identify are from as far back as the Renaissance (1500’s). Not all artists worked in this mode, however this is when we see artists reflecting back on themselves, some more often than others (Rembrandt, p 321.).For this week’s summary, you are going to create a psychological self portrait that is influenced by an artist from the textbook, and analyze it as an art historian might, or someone with a trained eye might, (like yours!).A psychological self portrait gives us an insight into your emotions and feelings. It tells us of where you are at mentally and emotionally. Color, size, iconography, how much space your image takes up in the composition: these elements together tell us the story of you, in that moment. For this assignment, please reference Chapter 11, section on "Self-Portraits" in the textbook.You may also use any other image from the rest of the textbook. Requirements & Instructions1. Look through Chapter 11. Find an image that you find interesting, inspiring, and that you think you can create your own version that is "inspired by" that artist from Chapter 11.Make sure to read the image description- it will tell you the story and feeling behind the self portrait. It may be in the story, that you find connection and inspiration.2. Take a photograph of yourself that is psychologically interesting. Use your phones camera settings to adjust the colors, zoom in, crop, etc.3. Your selfie portrait must tell a story that you will interpret based on these elements:Composition (p. 42), Vantage; are you central and up close? Significantly small and off center? Zoom in! Or out!Up close leaves no mystery, as opposed to far awayCentral gives you the dominant role, off center may indicate a role reversal of central importanceColor; black & white, color saturation- vivid, faded. Use your phone’s camera settings to adjust the colors to suit the psychological interpretation.Bright saturation may indicate a false intensityFaded colors may indicate lack of emotion, lossBlack and white can tell of loss of vigor, or create extreme dramaIconography: Props, clothingObjects and types of clothing add to the story of your mental and emotional status and lead to an interpretation. Make it fun!Include all points below in your summaryPlease use the numbered format in your summary. Thank you :)1. Your selfie- image2. The original artwork that you were inspired by from Chapter 11. Include the title, name, medium, date. Make your image look as close as you can to your inspired art-work or explain how it is connected conceptually to the original.3. Composition4. Color 5. Iconography/objects6. Reflection: was it successful? Does it create the psychological portrait you were hoping for? Describe the inspiration that you took from the original image; how can we see the inspiration in your image? Have fun!Things to consider:You may create a factitious character like Cindy Sherman did. This broadens your possibilities. Make up a totally new you!Use an artist from the textbook as an inspiration; you do not have to copy them.Things not to do:No normal everyday selfies.No environments/backgrounds that are vague or not directly related to your psychological portrait.Use the timer mode on your phone, so…..no hands holding the phone. Make it a real portrait!Please make sure all of these requirements are fulfilledPlease make sure all of these requirements are fulfilled before submitting:Provide the information in the numbered format above.CITE sources, if you use them (it is not necessary to use another source other than your text book).
