Self-Portrait as a Projection of Self
• The image is intended to show importance or status of self
• Not concerned with exploring the psyche

Self-Portrait as Narrative• Less concern with
the realistic likeness of oneself
• More concerned with expressing the inner self, often through a story
![Page 11: Self-Portraits](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568161ba550346895dd19183/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Self-Portrait as Metaphor• No realistic likeness of
oneself
• Concerned instead with expressing the inner self, often through the way the artwork is created
• Raises the question: Can any work be considered a self-portrait?
