John Travolta


This is a picture capturing him in a scene of one of his famous films Grease. It shows his fame and his dedication to his work/career as an actor.
This is him now in old age clapping at an event. It just seems to capture him being happy and content with his life.

Diego Rivera Portrait


I chose this image as a portrait of Diego Rivera because it captures essentially what he was all about. He was a painter and it shows him at work. He was very influential in the art era, and I thought this would be a great photo that emphasized that. This is what he do.

N.p.. Web. 14 Oct 2013. <http://www.oilpainting-frame.com/china/oil-painting-picture-40771-Self-portrait-Girodet-Trioson, Anne-Louis.htm>

The medium being used here is a portraiture of Paul Cezanne . There is a human present and that human is Cezanne. It is an oil painting because in this painting much detail is being depicted and it has more smoother strokes.  His face is in 3/4 view with his gaze at the viewer. This is a bust length portrait as well, because it goes to the top of his chest.

Self Portrait


This is a self portrait of myself. I feel in this photo that it is a very serious photo. I am looking into the camera, not meanly, but in a somber tone. I am in my dorm room around my bed post, so it's very intimate in a sense. There is a deeper sense of intimacy because of the pose and the expression of the face and the idea of it being inside of a dorm room. The lighting helps that as well, obviously there is some thought going on in this photograph and/or portrait.
