Pop art digital self-portrait

       In CyberARTS, we created digital self-portraits of ourselves that will eventually be painted that best reflect how we see ourselves as well as our personalities through the art style of our choice.

       The art style that I chose was pop art. I chose pop art, since I see myself as a very animated, cartoony-type of person. I'm a fairly colourful person that can be serious at times as well. Pop art is a very quirky type of style as well-not many styles can match up to it's symbolic and rememberable nature. I'm a very quirky and iconic type of person that seems to effect others (whether positively or negatively) wherever I go as well. Although I'm not taken seriously 99.9% of the time, I still try to act out how I feel as much as I can. Pop art depicts those traits of mine, since in many of Roy Lichtenstein's pieces, (drowning girl, the melody haunts my reverie, and m-maybe girl to name a few) they display bright-eye-catching colours with a young woman stating how she feels. They also have some kind of message or underlying theme to them that almost reflect how society and pop-culture is being glamourized in our everyday lives. I wanted to express something of that sort with my self-portrait. I often times make references and break-down stereotypes and passing fads as well as popular social media celebs too. 

Down below is a JPG of my digital self-portrait that I created using Adobe Photoshop CS6 in a pop art style.

      In conclusion, I chose to create my self-portrait in the pop art Roy Lichtenstein coined dots style, since it reflects a lot of how my personality and mind points are.
