For the intro class we began with a black and white “self-portrait” using symbols. We discussed how other artist in the past and present use symbology within their art to give their work multiple layers of meaning. One of the students, Kendrick, decided to use personal symbology through his characters, logos, and images of life (balloons) and death (tombstone) to create his self-portrait revolving around the topic of love.
