Overview:  The final step on your Identity Portrait is to add the words from the google document you created in part one.  Important things to consider when you add the words:
     - Fonts (the style of words) send messages and is a creative choice, so choose your fonts creatively
     - The color of the words send messages and is a creative choice.  Reds, yellow, oranges are warm colors and 
       feel more optimistic and warm.  Cool colors are Blues, greens, and purples and feel more calm, and cool.
     -You can also use the paint tool to write the words.  Keep in mind that it will come out more like spray paint,  
       and the style of spray painting sends a message as well.  It can be more personal as the way you write is
       unique to you


Directions:

5)  Open up the google doc you created in part one and then use the Type tool (or the paint brush) and write the words you wrote under "The way I see myself is..." on the right side of your portrait.  You can use different fonts, colors, and effects for individual words.

Overview:  Every year in advanced photography, I have had students pose against a white backdrop in the studio and take a photograph with a medium format film camera.  Students then printed out the photograph in the darkroom on 11 inch x 14 inch black and white photo paper.  Then they used colored pencils and markers to write words and draw on the photograph to describe how they see themselves on one side, and how they think other people see them on the other side (see the attached example below).  Since we can't use the darkroom this year, we are going to do a variation on this idea.
