but what is a mood board
A mood board is a visual tool that is used to collect and organize inspiration for a project. It typically consists of images, textures, colors, patterns, and other visual elements that capture the overall feel and style that you want to achieve. Mood boards are commonly used by artists, designers, and creatives to help them brainstorm ideas, establish a cohesive vision, and communicate their concept to others.

For your Artist Self-Reflection Portfolio, your mood board should showcase your aesthetic preferences, artistic inspirations, and the themes that are important to you as an artist. Think about the colors, textures, symbols, and imagery that resonate with you and include them in your mood board. This will help you visualize your artistic identity and guide the creation of your final piece.

I hope this helps clarify what a mood board is! Let me know if you have any other questions.
can i make the mood board about myself or other people?
Absolutely! Your mood board can be about yourself, other people, or any subject that you feel inspired by. The purpose of the mood board is to reflect your aesthetic preferences, artistic interests, and the themes that are meaningful to you as an artist.

If you choose to make the mood board about yourself, you can include images, quotes, textures, colors, and other visual elements that represent who you are, your personality, your experiences, and your passions. You can also include images of people who inspire you, or who embody qualities that you admire.

On the other hand, if you choose to make the mood board about other people, you can showcase images, stories, quotes, or artwork that reflect the individuals that you find inspiring, influential, or significant in some way.

Ultimately, the choice is yours! Your mood board should be a reflection of your unique artistic identity and should inspire and inform your final piece for the Artist Self-Reflection Portfolio. Have fun creating your mood board! If you need any more guidance, feel free to ask.
