Self-Portrait with a Relative

My Honors Art 4 and AP students worked on one of my favorite projects lately- a diptych that is composed of a self-portrait and a portrait of a relative. The self-portrait's are inspired by the pose, gesture and lighting of the image of the relative that is chosen as inspiration. It is always really fun to see what images people are drawn to recreating. Some people stuck to taking recent photos of their parents and others used older pictures of their family member when they were roughly the same age as the student. Students picked a medium they wanted to explore more.  I love seeing all the stylistic differences.  Enjoy, these are always really fun to look at!
