Self- Portrait

Using Picassohead was very interesting to say the least. At first I was frustrated that I couldn't get my self portrait to look the way I wanted it too; however after messing with the features I found that you could overlap the options to make the appearance of the Picassohead appear the way you wanted. I think this was a very easy program to use.

This could be used in the classroom when talking about technology and the representation of yourself. In a high school setting this could be used in both Technology Courses and Psychology Course very easy, with the students explaining why the represented their self in the way they did, and how technology helped them create this representation.

I used the the Picassohead Website to create my image.

Below you will see the image I created.
