Self-identity is a major part in the art world as well as the world in general, usually portrayed or captured as a portrait - either photographed, drawn, painted or sculptured - of oneself or another to represent their identity. As Brett Whitely said “There has to be a deepening quality of self-revelation” meaning there should be more then just a face on a canvas but rather portray the identity of the individual like their attitudes, private feelings and thoughts revealing more then just a blank face.
Art, Life and the Other Thing (1978) is one of Brett Whitley’s many expressionistic works but what makes this one different is because of it’s famous impact on the art world itself. Not only did this piece win the Archibald prize but also it revealed a more personal and deeper side of the artist himself, capturing his addiction to drugs and really giving the viewers a glimpse inside of his head. This piece of self-portraiture is made

The three pieces are laid out diagonally starting with the photograph at the top right corner, moving on to the middle piece which the arm in the painting is long and smooth and makes the piece flow from the first piece right through to the bottom and then finally finishing at the bottom left with the last piece. Line is one part that makes these pieces particularly work together as the thin lines flow through each piece somewhat connecting the three together. In
Identity is a group of characteristics, data or information that belongs exactly to one person or a group of people and that make it possible to establish differences between them. The consciousness that people have about themselves is part of their identity as well as what makes them unique. According to psychologists, identity is a consistent definition of one’s self as a unique individual, in terms of role, attitudes, beliefs and aspirations. Identity tries to define who people are, what they are, where they go or what they want to be or to do. Identity could depend on self-knowledge, self-esteem, or the ability of individuals to achieve their goals. Through self-analysis people can define who they are and who the people around them
What identity means to me is how a person or thing describes itself or is described. A person’s identity is based on their personality and who they are as a person. If a person is kind to other people and helps others this shows the person is caring so one of the person’s identity is that he/she is caring. People might identify themselves by saying that their compassionate, courageous, easygoing, determined, sensitive or even that their independent . Three words that identify me are that I am venturesome, ambitious, and athletic.
Identity is what defines us as a person. Everyone one on earth has their own unique identity. To showcase my identity, I created a collage of images and descriptive words, called an identi-kit. This identi-kit shows what I feel like is my identity to myself and the others. My identi-kit identifies me as a mixed martial artist. The identi-kit has images of a deadly shark with mixed martial arts gloves on that say mixed martial arts on the front and fight shorts with the words competitor and warrior on them. It also has descriptive words like “killer instinct” and “fight” which describe my spirit. There are three assumptions that come to question when asking about one’s identity. The first is if you were born with this
Growing up in a generation with high expectations of identity that are constantly altering whether it’s the latest trends, styles and even mind-set principles, can be over whelming. When asked to describe one-self, we often are stuck thinking of what particular word could fully describe who we are as a person. We have such a hard time of coming with just one word because there is no form of describing one’s self. How we see ourselves, we may not want to be that the next day. “Looks can be deceiving” or “the first impressions are the most important” is commonly instilled in our mindset which it is true to some extent. Our work
The concept of identity is usually described as self-image the person we thing we are and self-esteem or self worth, which is concerned with the worth we attach to that
Identity is a central concern of contemporary life. Identity plays a large part in societies and individuals lives; however it has not just become a central concern. For the last couple of hundred years identity has been a central concern. This central concern of identity is and has been portrayed, explored and discussed through art. In contemporary art there are multiple different art techniques, styles, codes, conventions and forms of art which explore and express identity. In the classical era of art the privilege of having a self-portrait created by
Webster’s dictionary defines Identity as, “the distinguishing character or personality of an individual”. It is the sole factor of what makes a person unique from the millions of others. Finding a person’s identity can be a difficult task. Equality from the dystopian novel, Anthem by Ayn Rand has to go through an immense journey of self-discovery before he found his identity. His journey was one that was filled with hardships and difficulties but in the end his goal was met. Similarly, Mario Della Grotta who was popularized by the non-fiction article, who holds the clicker, by Lauren Slater also had to go through a similar journey. He had to give up everything he was in order to reach his new identity. An identity that is divergent from anyone
Self-identity, this is a word that is sewn into the fibers of our very being, but in all reality the true definition is unknown. This word means the complete opposite of whatever the world has decided for the meaning, because quite frankly in the end self-identity does not revolve around any one ‘self’, but the contrary but works to benefit the masses. Once one discovers who they are they are able to find their gifts to bless others live and potentially bless them with the gift of identifying themselves.
Identity is defined as the characteristics that distinguish a particular person or group of people from others. Most people do not find their identities, until they have become older and more experienced in life. However, there are a few who discover themselves in a shorter amount of time. During life, humans will face some difficult decisions or situations that will help shape them into the individuals they are today, whether these difficulties be beneficial or harmful in the end. For example, death, guilt, love, anger, misunderstanding and many other emotions can contribute to the process of self-discovery.
What exactly is a self-narrative or in other words an identity? Could it be described as someone’s life story and their individual uniqueness? A self-narrative is a broad topic that has more meaning just one. In order to get a wide range of knowledge about a self-narrative one has to understand the different self-making narratives. In the stories Memory of Water by Emmi Itaranta, Being Prey by Val Plumwood, Nightmare by Malcolm X, express self-making narratives by stating how their experiences have transformed their self-identities originally. This occurs when External and internal beliefs are altered, turning points in our lives occur, creating a self-narrative full of distinctiveness. All of these stories stated above all show
ModKustoms created a pattern of swirls sanded into the aluminum (ModKustoms). Tanner coated the entire panel in translucent candied enamel paint that fades from orange on the outside edges to yellow in the center of the painting. This technique added both value and contrast. Also, the use of this technique draws the eye into focal point of the piece, the center. As you look at the center of the piece your eye wants to move from the top of the piece to the bottom and back up again. As with most pin stripe pieces, Tanner has incorporated many different types of lines into the piece. A pinstripe artist refers to this as pulling lines. As your eye travels up, down, and side to side along the piece you see that the lines curve, straighten, and curve again. They create circles, points, swirls and straight lines creating a rhythm that both intersects and runs parallel to each other. Each set of lines is given added emphasis through the use of color. The piece is a colorful work of art that contains white, emerald green, bright blue, bright red, turquoise, yellow, and metallic gold. The space between many of the lines is filled with the orange and yellow of the candied enamel paint. The metal, which is normally considered to be cold is given warmth with the use of the orange and yellow. The space between the bright blue lines at the center of the piece is filled with gold leaf. The gold leaf is an opulent addition to the work
Who are you? What defines who you are? Why makes you who you are? What is your personal identity? Have you ever sat around pondering the meaning of life, or maybe just your life? Have you asked yourself any of these questions? What were your answers? These are questions that people have been trying to answer since the beginning of time, before me and you were ever born or thought of. People live their whole lives trying to figure out exactly who they are and what their purpose is in life. In the field of philosophy, many philosophers have had theories on personal identity and a person’s “self.” These people have gone down in history books for their theories on a person’s identity: John Locke and Rene’ Descartes. These are two of the most
A prominent theme in both my artworks for Journey and Self-other has been the concept of my identity. Journey has highlighted the way in which I view myself whereas self-other has dealt with the concept of my body changing but the person I am remaining the same. Another theme that has incidentally played a role in both of my projects is the idea of reflection. In Journey I identified myself with an elephant, grappling with the concept of misconception and identification. In self-other I explored the theme in two ways, self-other as love and the changes in one self, using reflection as a way of understanding these concepts.
My photographs address the issues of identity through an exploration of my inner self and my subconscious mind. I use my dreams, fears, insecurities, and agitations as the source of my inspirations.
Identity is what evolves us, it is what makes us think the way we do, and act the way we act, in essence, a person’s identity is their everything. Identity separates us from everyone else, and while one may be very similar to another, there is no one who is exactly like you; someone who has experienced exactly what you have, feels the way you do about subjects, and reacts the same to the events and experiences you have had. This became prevalent to me as I read through many books, that everyone goes through the process of finding who they are. A prevalent theme throughout literature is the idea that over time one develops their identity through life over time, in contrast to being born with one identity and having the same
