Sustained Investigation

Inquiry Question

My sustained investigation will be guided by the question: how can I demonstrate growth and healing through my self portraits? I will draw from many sources of inspiration, such as Frida Kahlo, family, and nature. I will experiment with many different styles of portraits to find the one I like best. Through these processes, I share the shared human experience of growing and healing through traumatic experiences. Throughout the semester I grow with my artwork, and observe myself on my journey through my artwork. Along the way, I journal, making notes of unique and specific ways to describe my experiences, and then develop those ideas through sketches. Through revision, I will fine-tune my self portraits to better portray the process of healing to reach my audience's empathy.
