Self-Portrait!

For my Art class we are doing Self-Portrait's and at first everyone was talking about how it was about looking at yourself in a Mirror basically and trying to draw yourself, getting all the features and shading that you have but at first for me, that wasn't a good idea because I can't look at myself in a Mirror and draw myself, getting all of the features I have, I am good at Art but I can't do that no matter how hard that I try, so I have decided to maybe do a Collage..
Normally blogs are all about describing your ideas for your Art and telling your plans but, I really have NO idea what I am doing at all! It's kind of a "Wing-It" process for me when it comes to Art and it normally turns out well, I normally do good with it so that's what I plan to do.

Questions that I have to answer:

1&2
What are your first thoughts about your project?
-Well, I do not have any plans or thoughts about it, i'm gonna go with something at the top of my head that sounds decent enough and basically see if it all works out.
Do you have any concerns?
-In Art you are ALWAYS going to have Concerns, Will it turn out good? Will I mess it up? What if it doesn't look anywhere close to what I thought by the end? What if nobody accepts it? What if someone makes one 10 times better than mine? ...... These thoughts run through the Average persons mind 24/7 and the truth is, Yes, Someone is going to make on better than yours, it might not look as good as you thought, you could mess it up a bit,  NOBODY is perfect, the effort and imagination that you put into the Art is what makes it PERFECT! don't worry about what other peoples might look like, its all about you, that's what you have to worry about, what YOU like about it. Not what other people like about it.
Are there materials or techniques that might appeal to you?
-I like Paint, Random Objects, Pictures, Colors, Stickers,  anything that will basically fill a Collage and make it look messy and unorganized but nice at the same time, its Messy, its Disorganization, its Colorful and it's YOU!
These are the kinds of Art Collages that appeal to me:
1.
2.
The Second one has to be my most FAVORITE because I have ALWAYS been a sucker for Skulls, but also because in this Collage there is NO repeats, Nothing is the same, nothing matches anything, it's different, it's out there, it's basically what that one person loved wrapped up into one AWESOME Collage,  this .... This is my definition of Art right there....



Alriight, well that is my Blog about my process so far because I JUST started today, I will keep on updating as I move forward! :) Thank you!
