4/6 Monday Art Mission: Still Life Self PortraitWe learned about Portraits, Self-Portraits, Still Lifes and Composition ASSIGNMENT: We will be combining the concepts of Self Portraiture and Still Lifes to create a SELF PORTRAIT STILL LIFE of objects from around your houses or in your bedrooms that define us: objects that are uniquely YOU and items that hold special meaning. Find your favorite objects such as your cozy sweater, an adventure book, your gaming controller etc. These things should define or describe you in some way – movie or concert tickets, passport, souvenirs etc. You can even include foods and pets if you can get them to sit still! Arrange these objects in an aesthetically pleasing way = think of your viewpoint and that everything is balanced and that you can see everything – check your lighting! To call something aesthetically pleasing is in essence to call it beautiful, i.e. pleasing to the senses, but particularly the senses of sight and hearing— it would be unusual to describe a delicious meal or an aromatic perfume so. Remember a Self Portrait is… a portrait of an artist produced or created by that artist = YOU! And a Still Life is… a collection, or arrangement of mostly inanimate objects that are commonplace – what you might find around your bedroom or home. >>> try to get at least 10 objects for your Still Life Self Portrait <<< Once you take a picture you email it to me [email protected] This assignment was due Sunday April 12th by 12:00 am/midnight  4/8 Wednesday Watch: Prehistoric Stone Age ArtWe learned about Art Movements, Prehistoric Art, Paleolithic Era/The Stone Age and Cave Art ASSIGNMENT:
