From the Self-Portrait to the Selfie
Today, people enjoy taking selfies.
We can capture special moments with them.
Long ago, people captured their own image in a different way.
They painted pictures of themselves.
These pictures are self-portraits.
Selfies and self-portraits are similar.
Both show our image at a certain time.
When we look at them, we can remember ourselves from that time.
They are like a diary.
We take selfies to remember happy moments.
Selfies capture the expressions on our faces at those times.
We often look at selfies with our family and friends to bring back those joyful feelings.
Similarly, some painters made self-portraits to capture different times in their lives.
Rembrandt looked in the mirror and painted himself many times.
He painted around 90 self-portraits in his life.
They show his face from youth to old age.
Selfies and self-portraits also have differences.
Taking a selfie is easy.
We can do it quickly with our camera at any time.
However, painting a self-portrait takes some time.
Also,a self-portrait shows a painter’s personal painting style.
To paint a person, a painter needs a model.
Vincent van Gogh didn’t have enough money for a model.
So he painted himself!
When he painted his self-portraits,he chose bright colors and applied a lot of paint.
This became his unique style.
We can see it in his other paintings too.
We can express ourselves with selfies and self-portraits.
