Portrait of Alex

I chose each of the inspirational pieces to show that there are multiple ways of showing a self portrait through art.  All three of them had great detail on the face and showed emotion in the pieces of artwork. These pieces came from the Brooklyn ArtProject.  I used the PaperArtist application on my phone to create the self portrait. This form of media made it easy to create portrait and I didn’t run into any difficulty. The piece represents me and shows my facial features as well. Value was used with the contrast between the color of my face and the color of my hair. It was also was used to create shades of white on the shirt. I enjoyed doing the piece of art because the application made create the paint texture by moving my hand across the screen and the photo will change. I believe the final artwork is nice and the form of media used to make it was enjoyable.
