●Visual research

What is Self-Portrait?
 This video shows what is Self-Portrait. I thought that Self is known yourself better than the others and there is some possibility of improving more and more such as expressing in art, informing yourself to others like presentation. So for that, it would be changed by yourself and sometimes it would not be changed. It is really interesting to know and show. There are a lot of way to show yourself with photography, video, drawing, telling the story in book, etc.

●Idea exploration

 For this task, I'm allowed to use any material, design to show myself. Also, about my family, school life, favorite somethings and so on, I can create anything.

 So this time, I tried to create myself with my surrounding environment. First, who am I? I organized myself in a paper like this.

 So for this,  I realized that I have really favorite things. To add, I really like to create some art things. I want to put my cats and me in the way which is drawn with color pencil and pens.

 Then, I put the color line to emphasis the shape. Also, I really like many colors, so I put a lot of color on.

●Final design

 Finally, I created Self-Portrait with drawing in paper. First of all, I thought about myself with organizing myself and take a time to relax and think about myself enough. Then, I tried to show myself with my face, my favorite cats and many color. Also, my favorite touch of art. From this task, I could notice my favorite art way and myself enough. I really like to create some art things with color full and complex design, but I would like to try to draw in cool art way. For this, I tried to be me, just be free without being ideal. Also, I could notice that I really really like cat and they are essential on my life. They can make me more relax and happy and so on. Actually, I tried to express the happiness with my cats in the art way. A lot line, shape, color I used show my feeling enough, I think. As usually, I just enjoyed this task.






●Feedback from lecture
 
 The teacher shows the way in art using tea and masking tape to express mask and himself. I could learn that way and inspired by the way. It was really dynamic and strong, but clean to understand. From this lecture, I learned how to show myself, Self-Portrait. As usually, the lecture was really interesting!


Brief reflection for the week

 This week was really important time for me to think myself enough. I could found a lot of things with me. It was good experience to explore myself in art.
