Who Am I? Exploring Identity

IDENTITY ORGANIZER
Final Project

Some general guidelines:

In the photograph analysis activity, we saw how photographers not only conveyed ideas through the choice of their subjects, but also through techniques such as lighting, perspective, etc.

Some suggestions for projects include:

A painting, drawing or sculpture that reflects personal identity such as a self-portrait.
A photographic self-portrait.
A collage of magazine or photographic images. This could be an abstract representation of self.

Many artists have dealt with the issue of identity, especially in the form of a portrait. If you would like to explore more examples visit:
