16.+Express+Yourself

In this project, you will be dealing with value, which is an element of art. We have used text to send a message across to our viewer. Now we are going to use text to create value in a self-portrait. Value is the lightness or darkness of something. Before you start working on your self-portrait, you will have to do several things:
 * Express Yourself **
 * 1) Using Microsoft Word, create a list of **10 words that describe you** (i.e. funny, loyal, honest, etc.). Label this list "**describe**".
 * 2) Skip down a few lines in your Word document and create a list of **15 or more people** who are important in your life. Label this list "**family and friends**."
 * 3) Skip down a few lines and create a list of **20 things that you like** (i.e. pizza, going to the movies, etc.). Label this list "**likes**."
 * 4) Skip down a few lines and create a list of at least **4 quotes** that you would live by. Search and get good quotes. Label this list "**quotes**."

Save the list as **LISTyourlastname.doc** and save it in your folder. After you have the list you may follow the tutorial on how to create a portrait with text as the value.
