Self Portrait
3 ft x 3 ft (91.44 cm x 91.44 cm)
Acrylic on canvas
This is my self portrait and my inspiration was from Chuck Close's black and white portraits. I used the 1 inch by 1 inch squares to maximize detail in the piece. I found my source of inspiration from a magazine I found about Close's work, and I also found interest in his work from freshmen year art foundations. A struggle I had with this piece was the fine detail that had to be done, and I did not fully fulfil that requirement. Although the piece didn't turn out how I wanted it to, I found out that time management and getting the piece done was a major success for me.
