Lessons A self portrait is a painting by an artist of him or her self. The painting tells us something about who the artist is. It gives us clues about what is important to the artist. We can guess what the artist loves by what is in the painting.
Paint your own self portrait. You will be the main person, the focus, of the painting. You do not need to paint your whole body. You can paint only your head and shoulders.
Let your painting dry completely. Add bits of collage items to your self portrait. Add things that are important to you. Include things that you love. Use photos, pictures cut from magazines, letters, or schoolwork. You will have other ideas of things to use. Use white glue.
