So, you may or may not know, but I recently had my self portrait posted in Seto Hall for the Artist of Iolani exhibition. Doc seemed to like it, so he told me to blog about it.
That's me with my self portrait. :D I don't really know what doc wants me to say, so I'll just talk about it. This was shot for my self portrait assignment for Photo class. I had to take 200-something images of myself which was strange, but kind of fun. To take this particular picture, I set up a tripod and used the self timer in my (messy) room. I don't know where I got the inspiration to use the headphones, but I guess it works because music is a big part of my life and I like listening to it pretty much all the time. :] I shot myself with a digital SLR, Canon Rebel (The one that was featured in my other blog!). I must say, it was really strange to see such a large picture of my face on display some place. Haha.
The Artists of Iolani exhibit was really interesting to me because it gave me a chance to see what other art classes do. I'm always holed up in the Photo room, so seeing other artists' work from different mediums was amazing to me because of what they can do. It was also cool seeing work I have seen before from my Photo peers. I like the idea of the exhibit because unlike other electives, artists don't really get to have their moments. Dance has dance showcase, performing arts classes have recitals and concerts, and theatre has performances. But art doesn't really have that, so it's nice to have some place to show off what we've been working so hard on the entire year. Sure our work is around school all the time, But having all the mediums in one place at one time is a nice change.
Plus I got to sign my name on the huge wooden board in the back of the room. That made me feel a little accomplished. Overall, I'd say this was a really good experience. And according to doc, my portrait is very much like me, so I'm glad I was able to portray myself through a photograph.
I think that's pretty much all I can say about this. Doc, if you're reading this, and you want me to add anything, just let me know. That goes for anyone one else too. Enjoy extended schedule! :D Say Happy Birthday to me if you see me tomorrow! :D
Lol. Nice. :P Congrats!
