Self-Portrait Project

Self-portraiture is a vital process in the development of consciousness. Historically, the emergence of self-portraiture mirrors the emergence of the social significance of individual identity. To re-present oneself through a medium, representational or not, is defining. Symbolism and metaphor are as important tools as any mirror in this process. Use all means at your disposal for the creation of your self-portrait/narrative. The final product of this project will be a single image/series printed using darkroom techniques. This does not mean that your self-portrait needs to be a traditional photograph. Digital strategies may be use to create your desired effect. You will also produce an artist statement to accompany your self-portrait articulating your piece.

Grade Ten: Revolution and the Rise of the Individual (1688-1851)

The tensions between an expanding economy based on slavery, territorial identity, and an intellectual enlightenment generate contradictions that foster revolutionary movements.
Divergent governmental structures reflect changing patterns of wealth, power, religion and new definitions of the self.
The Enlightenment uses reason to challenge authority through the role of the philosophe, but Romanticism emphasizes the primacy of the emotions in the process of liberation.
The dominant phase of the Galilean Dynamical Mentality finds its expression through an emphasis on reason, linear causality and the construction of self through time.
