Compare these two pieces:
How can artists show themselves in imaginary ways?

Jacques Louis David
Native art uses a lot of animal imagery.
“Spirit of the Warrior” Joanne Victoria Moore
"Two Wolves and the Moon"
David Bell
“Those of Keen Sight” Kent Burles
Artists also distort facial features (Picasso, Modigliani) to enhance, comment
or create a tone.
How do artists use self-portraits to celebrate an event, a talent or status?
Albrecht Durer
Did you know, Rembrandt painted himself 80 times at different stages
of his life!
Artists may also show what they were like in the past, as well as
what they are like now.
“I and the Village” Marc Chagall
1911
How can you use pose, brushwork, colour or
background to show your character, your likes, your
fears, your mood, your beliefs or a talent in your
self-portrait?
