Sketchbook Proposal: Ego



Using one page in your sketchbook, create a visual proposal that illustrates and explains the ego of your chosen person. Later, the facing page will be used to illustrate how you will present this person's "alter-ego," allowing you to brainstorm solutions before you photograph them.

The "Ego" page should illustrate/explain the following:
1) How would you describe this person as they naturally behave? What is their usual sense of self-esteem or self importance? List some adjectives that help explain their "ego."
2) Ideally, how will you compose a portrait of them to accomplish this? (Are there other master photograph/art examples that help illustrate this?)
3) How could this person use gesture and body language to express their ego?
4) How will you use lighting to further clarify this person's state-of-mind?

The sketchbook will be graded out of 40 pts. using similar criteria as a visual journal entry. How you use the page (design), neatness, and studio skills will all be evaluated
