Portfolio Proposal

1. Project Description:
This marking period I want to create a series of artifacts that describe sibling similarities. Through my own experience and visualizations of other people and their siblings, I believe that only a few characteristics make them look different. I am going to study siblings through observation in person as well as in pictures.
I want to create a series of small-scale portraits of people in their own environments, 3 comparisons (6 people all together) and 1 large-scale comparison (2 people).

2. Purpose/Objective:
My purpose of this project is that I want to answer my own question: Does physical appearance define one person from another? Through this project I believe I will find that what defines someone is just physical, but by doing this project I want to prove myself wrong.

3. Materials: Tracing paper
(2) large pieces of canvas
(6) small mediums (I want to experiment with different surface mediums that make my project “multi mediaish”
Acrylic paint
Oil Paint
Oil pastels/chalk pastels
Ink
Cardboard
Watercolor paint

4. Time line:
My goal is to finish this project a two weeks before the marking period ends. I want to have the series of small portraits done by the end of November, and if I finish before that time I will change my proposal and start another project before the marking period ends.
