CLOTHING AS A SELF-PORTRAIT

CHOOSE an article of clothing (MUST be made of fabric!) that you identify as being special to

you. It could be a gift from someone, clothing from a special event, something that you wear

every day, a uniform, or even a childhood costume that you still have.

ARRANGE the item(s) you have chosen in such a way that they will create a dynamic

composition. Consider hanging the item on something unexpected, spreading the item out in

such a way that we would not normally expect to see it, showcasing the item with other objects

that relate to you in order to create visual movement, etc.

LIGHT the scene to create lots of contrast and shadows - use a table lamp, a spotlight, a flash

light, or another source.

PLAN your drawing by first completing three different thumbnail sketches of your set-up in

your sketchbook. Make sure to consider the keys to composition: size, view, and placement.
