1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces?

I picked these pieces because I liked the up-close self portrait with the flowers so I decided to zoom in on mine.  I like the piece with thousands of self portraits combined together; I wish I knew how to do that with my piece but I decided to take the shape of a square for my portrait like that piece.  In the Obama piece, I like the colors and different shapes/visuals added to the portrait which is why I decided to do something similar with mine.
2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?

I wanted to use the computer and explore more of what I can do on Photobucket so I decided to do so with this project.
3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them? 

I wanted to multiply my picture like my one inspiration photo but I could not find out how to do that.
4. How does this piece represent you?

It represents me because well it's me, and I also used colors that calm me down in my piece.  Also, it is fairly simply which I like.  
5. What elements and principles of art did you apply in this work?

I used color, shape, movement, and unity.
6. Did you enjoy working on this project?

I enjoyed being able to create this with the computer and being able to make something of my own.
7. What do you think of your final artwork?

I really like it, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be and something different.  I think it represents me and looks much different from my original.
