Adjustment Of An Reflective Self Portrait

In presenting a theory about myself as a leader, I will attempt to draw conclusions about my strengths and weakness as a leader based on the things learned in this class. I will speculate on a reflective leadership best-self-portrait through my work experiences that draw on my interpersonal resources for vision. Recognizing my talents and shortcomings will help develop both micro and macro levels of resource development needed to reach my full potential.

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

For the past several months, I have had the incredible opportunity of being a research intern at Carolinas Simulation Center (CSC). The research and simulation at CSC are cutting-edge and at the forefront of improving patient safety. Coming from an undergrad background in biology and cell-based research, simulation was new to me, and I was unsure of what to expect. However, the onboarding process was very helpful and prepared me well for my role.

Finally, Color is the last of the visual elements that I found this painting captured. The use of warm colors in the painting allows the image to be welcoming and have a positive disposition on the image. The colors are also relatively softer then what the normal colors would be, the reds are not as rich as red could be, the yellow is not as vibrant as yellow can be. Overall though I found the use of visual elements to be prominent in the painting making the image somewhat more

viewer relaxed. Virginia used several hues and values in the entire painting to create depth and

The elements of art make my collage this is something that I tried to in incorporate into my collage. There is a representation of implied line where the the face and the sky meet there is a also many curly lines between the hair. In this collage there is negative space in the backround with the sky and the buildings. There are many cool colors in the sky and the shirt also, warm colors within the face and hair. The color in this photo is very intense due to the way it was edited I incorporated this in my photo through picking the right shades of color. The complimentary colors in this collage are between the tan skin and the bright blue sky and the monochromatic colors within the wrinkles of the shirt. There is an

He continues his series by painting the subject matter using oil paint, soft pastels and also sculpture which relates to my work. Series of portrait paintings has helped my ability to see colors and lights. Composition, texture and color are similar in all of my work, which was solved through after subject matter is painted. This series specifically followed with influences from Susanna Coffey’s work. Coffey’s self-portraits are painted from the same angle but have remarkable view and she has fascinating brushstrokes and harmony in her work. Her composition is repetitive however, the texture on the figure change the whole painting which comparable to my self-portrait series. All of my portraits has the same compositions however, it has different brushstroke application on the skin. The flesh colors on the skin plays big part in all of my portraits. The repetitive self-portrait helps me improve my application of paint as well as the marks I make by using soft pastels. Using different mediums such as soft pastels and oil paint helps me apply the medium differently. The texture of the paint and soft pastels different from each other however, I can control the pressure of the application on the

As for this assignment I have chosen a portrait photographer which his name is George Hurrell. He is a photographer that is artistically famous for what he do. George does portraits photos on a famous actor, actress, entertainers, singer, etc. He became what he is now by going to a college of fine art studying painting, while at school he had held his first new camera, as his class assignment he needs to photograph a scene for a painting that needs to be on his canvas. That what make him so artistically because he has so much experienced since in high school even though he use to draw while he was a kid. George Hurrell has an awesome photograph in the past, as he didn't do it alone from what I had read. George tags along with his famous artist

I decided to create this portrait using the sun as my key light and and a reflector as fill light. First, I started shooting without the reflector to see how I could interact with sunlight, and I soon realized my subject’s left side of his face was filled with harsh shadows that I had to soften a bit to create the natural side glow that I wanted across his face. For this, I placed the reflector right under him so that sunlight will bounce into his face, fill those harsh shadows with soft light, and create the effect I desired.

Boucher’s subtle use of brushstrokes successfully achieved the smooth transition of colors. The bright, warm, delicate colors had built up a relaxed atmosphere for this rustic landscape painting. The young lady in the center was lit up by her light colored dress and the blush on her cheeks; the young man lying on the rock stands out from the

Today’s society is full of negative influences, false judgements and cruel actions that form our personalities into what society wants us to be and therefore we lose ourselves. I feel that artwork involving personal expression is a way to keep in touch with who you are. I feel it allows us to express our personal views of what we know about ourselves and not what society has portrayed us to be. It’s a form of art that draws my attention. On that note, Rembrandt used personal expression in all of his self portraits and draws us into the depths of his mind. Unlike most artist that would give specific answers within the portrait, Rembrandt didn’t. No one quite understand why he did so many portraits which leaves you thinking;

The portrait I made represents everything about me. I am known to be the quiet and calm person that everybody knows, but in reality I have a whole other side that nobody knowns about. The colors I used shows the representation of my everyday life.

During the Renaissance, artists were acquiring status and the technical means to create a new genre of art called self-portraiture (Bond). Portraits are defined as having a likeness of a specific individual (Adams). However, self-portraits do not only have a likeness of the artist but also a sense of psychology that connects the viewer to the artist. This connection gives the self-portrait a depth of complexity that even portraits do not always achieve. Following the development of self-portraiture, one must transverse the development of portraiture. Then one must follow self-portraits connection to portraiture and self-portraits own unique development. Then one must recognize the influence of the society on the value of the artist and their artworks. In order to understand the significance of the development of self-portraiture, one must have some familiarity with the history of portraiture and its development as a whole.

I choose oil painting as media for my painting because I like colors I could create with it. When I choose the colors of the sunset, I had to make the main source of light was coming from the sunset. I used yellow orange color on the green mountains to reflect the colors of the sunset to show the distance of the mountains and to add texture. Adding trees to the mountains added texture to the mountains and made them standout. I choose to have the color of the water reflected from the sky colors. I also added a hind of green to show reflection of the trees. The waves of the ocean have a similar light shade of the sunset which created a peaceful view on the eye. With choosing brown as the color of the rocks surrounding the girl balances the composition of the main rock that the girl sitting on. Also, by having part of the main rock under the water, it draws more attention to girl. Drawing the girl with warm colors to make her the main focus in the painting makes her the first thing that draw the viewer eye. Color plays a big part on emotional effect similar to the painting “The Scream” by Edvard Munch. Although, my painting is not showing the face of the girl, I feel like the choosing of the colors is similar. In The Scream, Edvard Munch uses orange, red, and blue to draw the sunset. Also, he give the water a reflection of the sky. The difference between his painting and my painting, I

My new body of work is a continuation of the work I have initiated earlier this year. It consists of a series of large canvases where I am painting a distorted enlarged self. I paint with oil colors on Italian linen canvases. This paint layer gets built up in a traditional lean-to-fat technique. I used to paint women portraits, but I gradually became more interested in flesh and less in the facial expressions. Coming to an understanding about how the body alone is a vehicle to convey emotions and how those moods can be exuding from a flat surface.
