Utopian/Dystopian self portraits in Google Classroom

Utopian/Dystopian self portraits

Welcome back artists.
Here we are in the throws of a pandemic, trying hard to regain normalcy where there is none. As an artist I myself as well as many of my fellow artists have been presented with a new creative outlet in which we are trying to make sense of the world through art.

Most of you are familiar with selfies....the modern day quickie version of the self portrait. We will briefly explore the history of why artists have used this form of expression for years and then combine it with our current situation.....
watch video one for a quick look at"the selfie"

To further this thought we are going to create from the viewpoint of utopian and dystopian society. Watch the video to further understand what these ideas mean to you.
for today I simply want you to come up with any and all ideas of what you think a dystopian (non perfect) society looks like as well as what you would like a Utopian (perfect society) to look like. it is from there that we will create our self portraits.

As most of you have been through the basics of self portrait before, I challenge you to come up with an idea of your own. I am also including a link to the Westword article on Denver artist Adrienne DeLoe's "Pandemic Self Portraits" for inspiration. If possible join the public group with the same name on fb to see more pix.

next class we will begin our project work. for this week I want you to just brainstorm ideas.

Self portraits "Character" in Google Classroom

Self portraits "Character"

Hello Artists! Welcome back.
We begin our art year with a return to self portrait. Why? because this is one of the most reflective things we can do as an artist with our art, to know ourselves. we will begin with a review of the basics of our drawing, then I will turn it over to you to create a character of yourself, of any style of your choice. What would you like to do? Who would you like to be?
Create your own character or use one you already know from a book or movie character.

I am including a video for this week on why artists do self portraits as well as a slide show with some fun examples!
