Self-Portrait: Resist Art

For particular skills, such as drawing or painting, it can be helpful to break the creative process down into stages. This method enables students to concentrate on a single step of the process at once. This can also help with organization, as it will assist to organize the different tasks and activities involved in the process. This can assist in ensuring that all the requirements are completed in the proper order and that nothing is overlooked. Teachers who can make connections between different artistic movements and aesthetic components, like portraiture, can foster in students a deeper understanding of art in all of its forms. Learners can develop an excellent understanding of how to use these elements properly in their work by studying various artistic styles and techniques. Additionally, by allowing students to express their thoughts and feelings in a way that is significant to them, educators who are familiar with various arctic styles can help students create their distinctive style and voice.


The element of line is a prominent element in our resist portrait. Our artworks are made up of numerous lines that can be seen on the hair, nose structure, lips, head shape, etc. The lines used within the images are a mix of thin, thick, straight, and curved lines, which adds character and style to the art pieces. Colour is another design element visible within the artworks. Many different colours are used and mixed in the art piece, specifically for the background. In the background of our images there is a combination of different colours mixed together, For instance, Tammy’s portrait image background has a mixture of the colour blue and pink with hints of purple.

The importance of breaking the process down into stages in the resist portrait helped us to notice the different parts of our facial sculpture and our spacing between each space of our face. We looked at ourselves through a digital photo and continued to draw our own faces on paper using shapes to resemble our facial features. Later on we used the sketches as a stepping stone to getting to the final product where we used water coloured paints and oil pastels to decorate the background and bring the art to life with bright and vibrant colours. In addition, we attempted to create texture as well in our resist portraits. For instance, to show our hair strands, we added extra lines to create realism in our images. The water colour paints were used as a background colour for our face, hair, and background while the oil pastels were used to define the details in our portraits such as our mouths, hair strands, eyes, eyebrows, neck, glasses, nose, etc.
