Self Portrait for my 1st activity

Hi! i'm janice :D So at here i would like to share something about my own design product :/  Even though not so eminent? hehehe

Oh ya ! Let's us talk about self portrait ! So wat is meant by self portrait? After surfed net and research i juz realized a self-portrait is a painting an artist has done using themself as the subject.

Dürer is recognised by art historians as being the first artist to regularly paint self-portraits. Three other artists known for their self-portraits are Rembrandt, who created around 90 self-portraits (paintings, drawings, and etchings) over 40 years; Vincent van Gogh, who painted around 25, most in the last two years of his life; and Frida Kahlo, who painted some 55 self-portraits.

Some people say that artists merely paint self-portraits as it solves the problem of having to find a model. But self-portraits offer more than that; there's the opportunity to paint a face changing with time, for in-depth study and development that comes with painting the same subject again and again.
