1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?
I selected these inspiration pieces because I really admire the unique techniques they each used to paint themselves. I've always loved Van Gogh's paintings, with the swirls in the backgrounds and how realistic it is even with flowing lines to color in and shade.
2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?I selected digital/computer media to create my self-portrait because I feel like it really captures who I am. Being in a modern age, my life would be altered drastically if I didn't have access to a computer or the internet.
3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?The only challenge I faced was trying to locate self portraits in the art gallery. I knew what I wanted to do with my own self portrait but couldn't find any portraits that reflected what I wanted to do or could possibly inspire me. I overcame this by looking harder in the gallery, and found some portraits to use.

4. How does this piece represent you?
This piece represents me because ever since I was younger, I was always attached to the computer. Using the computer as my media seemed like the only logical thing to do. I was born with blonde hair and blue eyes. I take pride in my blue eyes, which this media really accentuates.
5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?In this work, I applied emphasis, value, color, repetition, and shape. Emphasis and color are shown because of my eyes. Value is shown because of the difference in the white of my cheeks and the dark of the couch I'm sitting on. Repetition and shape are demonstrated in the rectangular blinds behind me.

6. Did you enjoy working on this project?
I enjoyed working on this project because it gave me a reason to go to the art gallery, which I enjoy going to but never have the time to. I liked trying to figure out a way to capture who I am in a self portrait.
