Alternative Style Portraits
We learned last week that a portrait is an artwork that shows a person. A Self- Portrait is when an artist paints themselves. You will see that there are many types and styles of portraits and they can be made from many different mediums.
Some portraits look just like the person they portray. This is called realistic. in 'the last lesson you learned about facial proportion and how to make a realistic portrait. In this lesson we will learn about portraits that may not look much like a person at all or alternative style portraits. Each artist has their own style. Portraits can be 2-dimensional - photographs, paintings, prints, collage, mosaic, or 3-dimensional as in carvings, sculpture, reliefs, and assemblages.
Below are some non-realistic and non-traditional portraits. Read and think about how the artist changed their portrait into a different style other than realistic. Notice the different mediums the artists use. Click on the pictures to enlarge.
