Now it’s your turn to create a self-portrait. How would you like to present yourself?

Create your image using markers, colored pencils, colored paper, or whatever other art supplies you might have. Take a moment to think about how you would like to be portrayed. Would you like to be seen in profile (face to the side) or would you like to look straight out at the viewer? What emotion would you like to express? What might a specific color, pattern, or setting say about you?
