<\/a><\/a>Alter Ego Drawing<\/span><\/h1>\n

If you could be anyone else who would it be?<\/span><\/p>\n

Is your alter ego someone infamous? Would you adopt the persona of a historical figure, a character from mythology or fiction or every day life in a different profession? Would you change genders or simply your wardrobe? We have all identified with other personalities. You will describe yourself as your alter ego in the drawing. Consider the<\/span><\/p>\n

outward signs that define a person. This may involve confronting and exposing issues of cultural stereotyping. How do we recognize each other? How do we recognize ourselves if pretending to be someone else.<\/span><\/p>\n

Activities<\/span><\/h1>\n

1. We will begin by studying the basic proportion and structure of the human head.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Choose an alter ego to explore. Write about the visual qualities that define that person.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Research the character further. \u00a0 Finding images that relate to the details of their persona.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Draw preliminary version to work with. This first version and we will look at this in class November 30th.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Start the actual final drawing and show in an in progress critique Dec. 7th<\/span><\/p>\n
