Review expressionism and respond to the following in your sketchbook:

 * What is the time period of the expressionism art movement?
 * Why did this movement occur? To what were artists responding?
 * List at least 4 different artists who are well known for their expressionist style:

Next:

 * Look up portrait artists from the expressionism period. You may choose from the list below or find your own.
 * Choose a portrait that connects to you.
 * You will be doing a self-portrait in the style of this artist, so choose carefully!
 * You will be demonstrating characteristics of yourself that are similar to those of the chosen artist, and the style (the way in which the artist works – color, mark-making, imagery)

//**Driving question: What characteristics does the portrait have that might be similar to your own personality or interests?**//

Sketch a possible self-portrait idea in the style of your chosen artist, following the steps below:

 * ====Your sketch should demonstrate an obvious connection to the work of the artist, and to the traits and characteristics you found in his work.====
 * ====Draw 2-3 sketches on newsprint to capture the essence of your expression, using your famous painting as a guide for composition, characteristics, and traits. Please visit: [] to help you capture your expression.====
 * ====Decide what the mood of your expressionist portrait is going to be. Make an EXPRESSIVE face, showing this dramatic emotion. Teacher will capture it by taking a photograph of you and printing it for your reference.====
 * ====You must include yourself in your oil pastel drawing; an expressionistic self-portrait must be a key component of your drawing, not a detail.====
 * ====Name your expression with an adjective so that you are clear about the mood you are trying to capture.====
