Week 2

Stylised Self Portrait

This week we’ll discuss the requirements of the fist assignment task. We will also review the work of various artists, designers and illustrators and how they approach the challenge of creating a self portrait which represents not only their physical appearance but also their emotional or social being.

We will review the difference between realism and stylisation and which approach would be best suited to your sill level.
