This project was an exaggerated self portrait, with an addition of magazine collage. The first step in the process to create this self potrait to take a picture. Not just any picture, but a picture that represents your personality. So I chose to do a picture with my mouth open, representing my personality of having a big mouth. Because of my big mouth I added a long tounge and a snake like fang. After taking a picture with my mouth open and the addition of the tooth and tounge, I began to transfer the picture into my sketch book. After doing so I began to plan the idea of what magazine colors to incooperate into my portrait. Then I transfered the sketch in my sketchbook to a larger piece of paper. For my background I chose to do greens. For my face I chose to do a various amount of singers, because of my love of music. For my tounge a transition red, dark pink, to light pink. In searching for my greens I looked at National Geographic magazines. I looked into Rolling Stones magazines for the pictures of different singers. For my pink tounge and white fang I lookend into People magazines and used articles of clothing and pink and white items from the magazine. After finding all of these pictures in the magazine I cut them out and pasted the pictures.
