Grid Self-Portraits in Art 2

Hola, my name is Joana Fuller. I'm in Art 2 with Mr. Davis. When we did this assignment, we had to take pictures in front of a lamp. I was trying to make my expression the saddest it could possibly be (if you know me, then you know that it is VERY hard for me to NOT smile). It turned out pretty good, but when I found out that we were supposed to use those pictures for our self-portraits, I freaked. I did grid drawings last year in Art 1 and it was very hard. While doing the portrait, I had to keep asking Mr. Davis, "Does this look right?" "Did I do this right?" And because of this assignment, I was given the name Negative Girl (thank you Mr. Davis). When I finally finished my portrait, I seriously didn't like it. I even offered to trade pictures with my buddy Ainsley. But in order for us to do that, we would have to trade faces... not a pretty picture....so yeah, I enjoyed doing this assignment because it helped me figure out that I'm actually good at some form of art. I plan on keeping this portrait to look back on all the good times I had in Art 2 with my awesome, wonderful art teacher Mr. Davis and our super huge art class...(sarcasm) :) I also plan on showing it to my future family. Maybe I'll include it in my will.....hmmm....
