DECONSTRUCTED SELF-PORTRAIT

Painting I- OLIVER

Assignment 6

(Due: Thursday 11/13)

Deconstructed Self-Portrait

Parameters:

~Must have at least four surfaces/layers to work on (deconstructed frame/ surface/ materials)

~Must incorporate (but not limited to) acrylic paint

~Must incorporate at least one figurative element from life

~Must have artist statement

Materials: OPEN, though you MUST at least incorporate oil paint

OBJECTIVE: Create a reflective piece, representing a psychological image of self through the deconstruction of frame/ materials, surface.

You have ALL of the elements we have discussed in other projects to this point (formal/ conceptual elements, frame, materials, tools, narrative, etc) to discuss the work. IS THIS PIECE DECONSTRUCTED? HOW? DOES THAT MATTER TO THE VISUAL/ AESTHETIC INTEGRITY OF THE OVERALL PIECE?

Think about the statement--WHAT is being said?  HOW it is stated (even things as basic as grammar and writing can be taken into account). What are the materials used? HOW did you deconstruct the piece? Does this statement connect with the work? Does the statement itself strengthen/ weaken the work presented? Is there enough being said to actually give you information and clarity?
