Prompt 3: Found Object Self Portrait

The purpose of this prompt was for the class to create a self-portrait through the use of 5-7 objects found around the house. For my self-portrait, I used my high school diploma, a controller, my childhood teddy bear, my first sketchbook, and red Poinsettias. My high diploma represents the recent achievements that I’ve done in my life. The videogame controller reminds me of the days when I would play games all day and all night with my friends, which I can’t do anymore. My childhood teddy bear is a constant reminder of my early childhood. My first sketchbook represents my lifelong love of drawing. Finally, the red Poinsettias are meant to represent the person I have bloomed into over the course of my life. The red background for the photo is the rug at the front door of my house, which I have fond memories of.
