Painting 3 - Arcimboldo Portrait Project

The GIUSEPPE ARCIMBOLDO SELF-PORTRAIT PROJECT invites students to ask: "What is a portrait?" Students study examples of non-traditional self portraits, then view and discuss portraits from the Renaissance and compare/contrast with those by Arcimboldo. Students collect images that answer "Who am I?" and create a portrait from those images.
