Getting back to materials

Insert a photo of the self portrait you made in class today. In a post on your blog explain why you chose the materials you did for today’s project, then describe how you decided to use the materials you chose. What was the process for making what you made? How do you feel about the finished product?

For this project I didn't have many choices for materials, but the one i thought would be a lot of fun was this bendy wire string stuff. It was in a huge role and u could bend it into different shapes thats why i thought it would be easiest to use. Fist when i started to make my self portrait I made the oval of my face and twisted the ends together so they would stay. Then I used the symmetry lines of drawing faces to use a line to create the 2 eyes on and a line to create the mouth. I had to bend them into the shapes of these features though. Next I put the nose attaching to the line between the 2 eyes. Then i used to strands to outline hair. One challenging part was that the wire wasn't completely bendable to it would sometimes twist apart or the lines of the eyes and mouth would move lower and higher than where they should be. The finished project although it isn't a masterpiece I think does look like a face, this project felt like more of a fun thing to get back into my creative side and doing art in school again.
