Homework?

This Friday we are giving you a bit of homework! 

Artists, such as Vincent van Gogh, have several famous self-portraits illustrated at different times in their lives. You might be surprised to know that they look very different.

Why do you think artist paint self-portraits and how might they convey different emotions? This weekend we want you to draw your own self-portrait … Twice!

Select two of your favorite pictures (selfies work best) and get to drawing! Once you are done, write a letter to a friend or family member describing your portrait and how you feel it captures your “true character” best. Be sure tell your friend why you selected the two pictures for your portraits. Your letter should communicate what your portrait reveals about you and how it answers the question, “Who am I?”
