Projects are due on the blog by Monday 5/10

Choosing any one or combination of processes that you have explored during the semester, create a self-portrait. Connect your final self-portrait project to one (or more) of the artists and the readings we learned in class. You may also choose another artist we have not covered in class. You may also incorporate and be inspired by the the spectacle, media, advertising and technology in the exploration and presentation of self. You may use a medium you have used before but push yourself deeper and ambitiously on your final portrait! Research the artist(s) that inspires you and take time to develop a more ambitious idea inspired by this research.

In addition to completing your self-portrait project you will photograph and post your project to the blog. Through an oral presentation (5 minutes) and a written post which includes images of your work, please explain your project. Answer these questions:

• What is the subject and content of your project?

• Why did you choose this medium and make the choices that led to the composition? How you would categorize your work (ex. collage, graphic print, mixed media, etc).

• Explain the process and steps you went through and why you made those decisions.

• What artist(s) inspired or informed your project?

• What do you think this self portrait conveys to the audience/viewers?

• What are the differences between your first self-portraits (3) and this self-portrait (final)?

• What influenced these changes? Have you pushed yourself and learned from the artists we discussed? How?

• How does the media and its images influence identity and self presentation? Reference the spectacle if applicable.

Warhol and Basquiat - Identity, Biography and Fame

Review the documentaries on the lives and work of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. What are some prevalent themes in each of their work? What influence may their biographies have on their works?

Did these artists become synonymous with their work? How did media and fame play a role in their work and their lives? How did each of the artists use art materials and technique to address some of these themes? How were the materials and techniques themselves important to the subjects they depicted?

Did these artists invent themselves or their public selves through the presentation of these works? Use Berger, Finkelstein and any other additional sources to help you answer these questions. You must cite at least 4 references (quotes) from our class readings in your essay.

Use the readings we have done to help this explanation. Reference at least 3 of your quotes from the readings. Think about the questions we answered in class as well as: How can a performance express self-identity and issues that affect that self-identity? How does performance go beyond other methods of representation like photographs and paintings?

Weekly Selfie: Reclaiming the Gaze Inspired by the artwork of Ana Mendieta create a selfie that addresses the male gaze or challenges it in some way. Although the artist is often addressing the representation of the female nude in their work, this assignment does not require this investigation. In reclaiming the gaze many artists have changed the way they portray the body including empowering and reclaiming it. How can you interpret this as well? Post your selfie and the work that has inspired it. Include two quotes for each reading and a brief response (1-2 paragraphs) to the readings in your post.

FLAG SELF PORTRAIT (10% credit)

Using the work of Dahlia Elsayed and our class readings as inspiration please design and create a "flag" self portrait. Choose an issue or theme that speaks to your identity, passions, wishes. Think about this project more abstractly and conceptually than a traditional flag. Simplify and push yourself to think about identity as symbols and language instead of figure or image. How can you create a flag that speaks to some part of you?

Use paper, fabric or digital tools to design and create the flag. Share the flag on the class blog. Prepare a short piece of writing to explain the flag to the class. The writing can be a poem or instructions, or a short explanation of the various components and ideas behind the flag.

Look back at the two articles and watch Dahlia's artist talk to help fuel your ideas. I want you to use the work of Dahlia Elsayed as inspiration but it does not need to be in her style.

+++ SOME TIPS if you are having trouble getting started or narrowing down your ideas:

-Go back to the quotes you chose from the readings, see what sticks out and if there is a connection to an issue or theme for you personally

-You can also use the exercise I mentioned in class and write down 5 words that come to mind about yourself or 5 current issues that are important to you. Play with this brainstorm list and write phrases, short poems and see what pops out.

-Gather materials in your home that can be used to draw, paint or collage your design. You can use an old towel, pillowcase or fabric, large paper or cardboard, wood or plastic. If you do not have paint, cut fabric or paper to use as collage, use markers and pens, use other ways of making marks like dye or food coloring. Look around and see what inspires you.

-Play around and see what you can create. You should make something physical. Take a photo of the object to share on the blog with the short piece of writing. You can "perform" with the flag or include only a photo of the flag itself. The flag can be temporary.

-Be creative! Go outside of your comfort zone.

Include good images of your project including if possible an image of your project as a flag! Edit your writing and be sure to include a good description of the project and how it connects to the ideas of language and symbols in Dahlia Elsayed's work. Use the readings and your quotes in your writing portion to help explain this connection.
