Student Self Portraits in Chris' Class at the Academy

Self Portraits are no doubt a good subject for Artist. I completed mine this year, and what a challenge! You will find it on my site, www.chrissimpsonfineart.com.
At the Barbara A. Wood Academy of Art we had our students bring a photo of themselves, however the results were so refreshing and different from each student.
In their artwork here, notice the expression and understanding of emotion and how more important this is in art than merely "copying." That can sometimes be a starting place, but eventually we must move on to another level of seeing.
Hope you enjoy these self portraits and you don't want to miss the upcoming blogs and loads of information I will be branching into and making available soon.
