Self Portraits


I found these images to be helpful when creating my digital self portrait. They are both women showing their interests in life, in a similar way. On the left, Vigee LeBrun uses more classical techniques to do so, by painting on canvas and having a more traditional dress. On the right, she uses technology to replace her clothing, which represents her in a different aspect compared to LeBrun's. Both are shown as working women, which similar stances. I find both to be effective, but in different contexts. 


"A self portrait is a representation of an artist, drawn, painted, photograph, or sculpted by the artist"
