Discussion:
Self-Portraits.Journal.The Renaissance artists Titian, Rembrandt, and Durer have each painted self-portraits. Imagine yourself as one of these artists (or another artist of your choice that has painted a self-portrait) and write a journal expressing your thoughts on "your" art (in other words, the journal entries the artist would probably write.)
(1) Explain "your" primary reason for painting a self-portrait.
(2) Describe "your" artistic choices in composition: use of color, space, etc.
(3) Explain what the portrait represents about "you" (as the artist.)
(4) Explain "your" choices of subject.
