Question

Throughout this unit you have regularly reflected on your own aesthetic preferences. In Lesson 4, you finalized the creation of a mood board as a way to organize and visualize your preferred artistic subjects, materials, methods, and messages. In this activity, you will finalize a portfolio of these preferences and create a single work of art that incorporates at least two of these interests. Use the following instructions, the Artist Self-Reflection Portfolio worksheet, and the Artist Self-Reflection Portfolio rubric to complete this amazing reflection of the young artist that you are!
Describe your mood board in the appropriate location of the Artist Self-Reflection Portfolio worksheet. Complete the description.
Spend some time thinking about who you are as an artist. Choose a subject for your final piece of the course and determine the materials and methods you will use to complete your work. Create a rough draft. For instance, you might create a mixed media collage or sketch that illustrates your dreams for the future. Or you might create a painting or series of photographs to raise awareness about an issue that is important to you.
Complete the final draft of your piece and fill in the description and reflection sections of the worksheet.
