Self-fashioning

1.) In your own words, define self-fashioning

2.) Select an artwork that we have not discussed in class in which the figure appears to be self-fashioning. This can be any artwork from any period, as long as it is a portrait.

3.) Include a clear and concise thesis statement

4.) Using historical, visual, and iconographic analysis, describe how the figure is creating the self. Who are they? How do we know this (what are they showing us)? How does this person want history to remember them? Remember at least one paragraph should be visual analysis.
