The Renaissance artists Titian, Rembrandt, and Durer have each painted self-portraits. Imagine yourself as one of these artists (or another artist of your choice that has painted a self-portrait) and write a journal expressing your thoughts on "your" art (in other words, the journal entries the artist would probably write.)

(1) Explain "your" primary reason for painting a self-portrait.

2) Describe "your" artistic choices in composition: use of color, space, etc.

(3) Explain what the portrait represents about "you" (as the artist.)

(4) Explain "your" choices of subject with regard to at least three (3) other specific pieces "you" have painted.
